DISH Network is warning that its customers could lose access to ABC Newschannel 20 this week, because the TV station’s parent company is demanding more money to let the satellite provider retransmit its signals.
A press release from DISH says Sinclair Broadcasting, which owns Channel 20 and stations in more than 40 other markets, is asking for more than any other over-the-air broadcaster in the country.
Unless the companies can reach a deal by Wednesday, DISH says it will have to block Channel 20 and all other Sinclair stations.
