DISH Network (NASDAQ: DISH) announced that Monday night Turner
Networks removed Boomerang, Cartoon Network, CNN, CNN en Español,
HLN, truTV and Turner Classic Movies from the DISH programming
lineup. The two companies have been unable to negotiate the terms
of a renewed distribution agreement, and Turner refused to extend
the overall agreement.
“In the past year, DISH has successfully renewed agreements with
many large content providers,” said Warren Schlichting, DISH senior
vice president of Programming. “As a result, we are confident that
we have offered a deal to Turner that reflects an appropriate value
for our customers.”
“DISH has had a productive relationship with Turner Networks for
many years,” said Schlichting. “We regret the service disruption to
our customers, and remain committed to reaching an agreement that
promptly returns this content to DISH’s programming lineup.”
