Over a rate dispute FOX Networks is abandoning DISH Network’s access to 19 FOX Regional Sports Networks and to even some other programming. FOX is emphasizing a new contract with an unusual rate increase of over 50 percent. The blockage of those channels by FOX was followed by the network’s national TV, several print as well as web advertising campaigns that are dedicated to pressurize DISH Network and its subscribers into paying the increased rate. FOX has refused DISH Network’s request to allow customers to continue watching the FOX channels while both the companies are undergoing the negotiations. However, these negotiations with FOX are not going to affect the local FOX TV stations, FOX News as well as FOX Business News.

Dave Shull, senior vice president of Programming for DISH Network has said “DISH Network is not going to allow FOX or any programmer to bully our customers into paying such an unconscionable price increase. FOX has a long history of trying to shake down pay TV providers, including Cablevision, Time Warner, and Bright House.”

He also added “Our customers should not be held hostage in order to finance FOX’s irresponsible acquisition of sports rights. Consumers are already burdened enough in this challenging economy.”

DISH Network will be negotiating in good faith to bag a fair deal with FOX for restoring the local sports channels and prevent that extreme rate increase in this challenging economic environment.

During the FOX imposed block, DISH Network will make some of the popular satellite TV channels available to all the affected customers at no extra charges. The channels include – HD Net Movies, NBA TV, HD Theater, NFL Network, Altitude Sports, NHL Network, New England Sports Network, Comcast SportsNet California, Comcast Sports Network Mid-Atlantic, Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, Comcast Sports New England, ESPN Classic, FOX Sports Rocky Mountain, Comcast SportsNet Chicago, Big Ten Network, Mid-Atlantic Sports Network2, FOX Sports Pittsburgh, FOX Sports Northwest, Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, SportsNet New York as well as SportsTime Ohio.

Yet another big day for all the soccer fans! Right guys? Well of course it is! Today the viewers are going to witness the best of the shots by their favorite teams and their favorite players. The Day 5 schedule looks just great with New Zealand vs. Slovakia in Group F, followed by Ivory Coast vs. Portugal and Brazil vs. Korea DPR of Group G. So guys, whom are you going to support this time…?

Group F:

New Zealand vs. Slovakia

To begin with we have New Zealand vs. Slovakia and the match is about to start @7:00 sharp at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium, Rustenburg.

This is New Zealand’s second world cup after 28 years since the year 1982 in Spain where they had lost all the 3 matches against Scotland, Soviet Union and Brazil. But this time they are back with a vengeance to defeat all their rival teams at the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The best among the players include Chris Wood (Forward).

Coach Ricki Herbert says, “”If we can keep the percentage of chances coming and increase the percentages of those hitting the back of the net, then it will certainly stand us in good stead.”

As an independent nation this is Slovakia’s first world cup and it is a special moment for all the team members. They have been making a steady improvement in each of the qualifying matches of World Cup since their independence. The key player of Slovakia includes Marek Hamsik (Midfielder).

According to striker Stanislav Sestak, “We have nothing to lose. The fact we are participating is already a big achievement, so now we can play freely.”

Ivory Coast vs. Portugal

The next match will be taking place at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth.

Well, what we can say about these two teams. They are the perfect examples of a dark horse and they are the strong contenders for the FIFA World Cup Trophy. So whom are you guys betting on?

The best among the players of Ivory Coast is Didier Drogba. He is one of the best centre forwards in the world.
Everybody’s favorite Portuguese footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo (Forward) is by the best and highly recognized active player in the world.

Coach Sven-Goran Eriksson of Ivory Coast is of the opinion, “We have a lot of respect for all the teams, but I think the others have a lot of respect for us as well. We have a good team and a lot of good football players.”

Defender Bruno Alves of Portugal says, “We know all about Drogba; he is a world-class player. We know the Ivory Coast have special players in their team, but we have to think about the overall team, not just an individual.”

Group G:

Brazil vs. North Korea

The best is always preserved towards the end and it is none other than the match between Brazil vs. North Korea that will be taking place at Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg at 2:00PM EST.

Everyone’s eyes are fixed on today’s match between Brazil vs. North Korea. Brazil being the favorite of all the teams looks strong and confident as usual. The Samba Boys will do anything to defeat their opponent, the North Koreans. The North Korean team has to gear themselves up against a strong contender like Brazil. Defeating Brazil is not that easy but the North Koreans are bent upon defeating one of the world’s strongest teams at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Brazil looks great with the main striker Luis Fabiano (Forwards), the golden boot winner. And then you have Kaka as one the strongest Midfielders.

Jong Tae-Se, also known as “Asian Wayne Rooney” is the one of the key and players of North Korea. Today Jong will be up against the toughest of the defenders he has ever faced before. So Jong, we wish you all the best.

The Brazilian forward player Grafite says, “This is a dream. When I got called up for the World Cup, my wife just said, ‘You deserve what is happening to you; it’s what you fought for.”

Striker Jong Tae-Se of Korea says, “We don’t want to leave the tournament just with experience; we want to obtain all we can get in terms of goals and points when we go home.”

Well, it is quite unpredictable regarding which of the teams will be winning the match as all the teams look confident and vindictive and overall have faith in their abilities.

So grab the best of the seats in your living room and simply have a blast watching your favorite teams performing at the 2010 FIFA World Cup on your Satellite DISH TV in HD mode.

DISH Network, the fastest growing satellite TV provider in the United States has announced its plans to launch local broadcast channels in 29 new markets on June 3, 2010. With this plan the satellite TV provider has become the first and only satellite TV provider who is offering local channels to the subscribers in every market across the nation.

The announcement came just after President Obama signed the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 (STELA). This new law paved the way for DISH Network to become the first pay TV provider to achieve this milestone. It is indeed a historic step in the history of satellite TV industry.

Charlie Ergen, Chairman, President and CEO of DISH Network said, “We are proud to announce that every American will soon have access to their local channels from DISH Network.” He also added, “While our nearest competitor offers local channels in only 75 percent of local markets, DISH Network is committed to offering consumers in all markets – particularly those living in smaller and rural communities – a full complement of satellite TV services. All Americans, regardless of where they live, deserve access to key in-state news, sports, weather and other programming.”

On June 3, DISH Network will be launching local channels in 29 new markets. This will give many DISH Network customers a choice in TV service for the first time. The new markets include: Alpena, Mich.; Biloxi, Miss.; Binghamton, N.Y.; Bluefield, W.Va.; Bowling Green, Ky.; Columbus, Ga.; Elmira, N.Y.; Eureka, Calif.; Glendive, Mont.; Greenwood, Miss.; Harrisonburg, Va.; Hattiesburg, Miss.; Jackson, Tenn.; Jonesboro, Ark.; Lafayette, Ind.; Lake Charles, La.; Mankato, Minn.; North Platte, Neb.; Ottumwa, Iowa; Parkersburg, W.Va.; Presque Isle, Maine.; Salisbury, Md.; Springfield, Mass.; St. Joseph, Mo.; Utica, N.Y.; Victoria, Texas; Watertown, N.Y.; Wheeling, W.Va.; and Zanesville, Ohio.

Chairman John Conyers, U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary, who is a major contributor in passing the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 (STELA), said, “For far too long, consumers in many small or rural markets didn’t have access to their local news, weather and sports. One of the principal goals of the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act was to encourage local television to be made available to all consumers via satellite.” He also stated, “Implementation of the legislation will help make television markets more competitive, and serve the interests of consumers nationwide.”

Chairman Rick Boucher, U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet said, “My major goal in reforming the Satellite Home Viewer Act has been to bring to all 210 local television markets across the nation what we call local-into-local television service through which local TV signals are transmitted by satellite to homes in the market where the TV stations are located.” He added, “Today, we have taken the final step in achieving this long held goal, and as a result, satellite TV subscribers everywhere will soon be able to receive both national programming and the local TV stations that serve their area. With today’s presidential signature, on June 3, DISH Network plans to begin serving the many rural markets that lack vital local TV signals. I want to commend the leadership of DISH Network for making this commitment. Millions of homes in America’s most rural regions will be the beneficiaries.”
