Dish Drops FOX Sports Midwest
 
Dish Customers to Miss Friday’s and Saturday’s Cardinals Games and Much More
 
At Midnight on September 30, DISH Network dropped FOX Sports Midwest and now Dish customers risk missing Friday and Saturday’s Cardinals games, as well as the start of the Blues season later this month and Big 12 football.  
 
FOX Sports Midwest will televise 75 Blues games this season, including nine in October and 14 in November.  FOX Sports Midwest also televises Big 12 football each Saturday, and the upcoming schedule includes the Mizzou-Colorado game next Saturday, Oct. 9.
 
"Fox has been trying for months to reach a fair agreement, but Dish refuses to play ball," said FOX Sports Midwest spokesman Geoff Goldman.  "Our programming is among the most valuable Dish offers, and we're simply looking for a fair deal."
 
Fortunately, there are alternative providers in your market.  Dish customers should visit www.getwhatipaidfor.com for more information.

Typical pre-season negotiation bluff.

They dropped games last season, why wouldn't they do so again? flag this comment
I find it hilarious that Dish network drops the channel that hosts 75 out of the 82 Blues games, yet Dish advertises with the Blues, and sponsors the Blues online video portion of website... make much sense? Not to me.....

If I had dish I think I would be going on a rampage. The fact they can't get anything done over a year and a half is ridiculous
