FredCDobbs Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I'm not sure where to put this news story, but here it is. By the way, to get more news stories about TCM, Dish, CNN, Directv, Comcast and other related stuff we are interested in, go to Goggle News, then up at the top search box, type in simple terms such as DISH TV, or TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES, or DIRECT TV, etc, etc. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/11/04/us-dish-network-results-idUSKBN0IO0ZG20141104 Dish posts revenue below estimates as it loses pay-TV users (Reuters) - Dish Network Corp (DISH.O), the second-largest U.S. satellite TV company, reported lower-than-expected quarterly revenue as it lost pay-TV subscribers due to increased competition.

darkblue Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I can just imagine how much less its revenue will be next quarter after losing all its CNN/TCM subscribers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGGGerald Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The other services (cable and Directv ) are losing 100,000's of customers per quarter. Dish was the only one actually gaining until now. I think the levee is going to break this time. If this isn't rectified soon, they will lose me. Others I know are already gone for other reasons.

mrroberts Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Maybe "Price" has something to do with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesJazGuitar Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Maybe "Price" has something to do with this. Do you mean the higher price Turner is trying to get from DISH or the higher price DISH would pass on to consumers if they agreed to Turner's price?

It's a shame our anathema for the liars and crooks doesn't translate into them all going bankrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Graves (Price) may have the answer to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
