Here is some really good news for all those who love watching various programs on FOX channels. I guess you were aware of the mutual indifference that allegedly came up between DISH Network and Fox Networks. The DISH Network and Fox dispute created a whole world of questions and controversies among people. But the fact was that it’s the subscribers of DISH Network who suffered the most. However, here comes DISH Network and FOX negotiations, which in turn comes as a great relief for the subscribers. The good news is that, all the Fox channels are restored to DISH Network once again.

No need to add here that the popular shows like Glee, The Simpsons, Sons of Anarchy, House, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and many more will again be available on your television.

The issue came up when FOX Networks suddenly decided to increase their package cost to DISH Network. This sudden hike in price created a tussle of issues between the two. Neither of them came to a conclusive decision in which the matter could be sorted out to mutual benefit. Accepting this increased price would lure other programmers to make similar demands. As a result, DISH Network stopped broadcasting the FOX channels including FX, National Geographic Channel and Fox’s 19 Regional Sports Network to its subscribers all over the United States.

As you all know guys that you were the worst hit in the controversy. The customers as well the marketing partners faced a temporary loss of the channels.

“After prolonged negotiations to reach a fair deal, we’re pleased to enter into a long term agreement with Fox and to assure our customers that they can continue to enjoy these channels,” remarked Dave Shull, Senior Vice President of Programming for DISH Network. He further added, “We thank our customers, our retail and channel partners, and our employees for their support through these negotiations, which we believe resulted in a fair deal that reinforces DISH Network’s position as the best value in television.”

On the other hand, on a thank note, Mike Hopkins, President, Fox Networks Affiliate Sales and Marketing said, “I want to thank our partners at DISH Network who worked tirelessly to help us reach a successful conclusion.” He also said, “This agreement provides a strategic partnership between Fox and DISH to bring the best programming to DISH subscribers.”
