NBA, NHL Back Fox In Dish Dispute

From the article:

"Both the NBA and NHL have apparently sided with Fox Networks in its programming fee fight with satcaster Dish Network." ...

... "The Fox regional sports networks air pre-season and regular season games from the professional sports leagues. And now the NBA and NHL are running stories at league-sponsored web sites (NBA.com and NHL.com) saying that Dish has refused to reach a "fair agreement" with Fox Networks.

Additionally, the stories warn viewers that if they have Dish, they will not be able to watch the new seasons of the NBA and NHL" ...

If Fox isn't getting paid to show sports games, then neither are the teams. It's interesting to see such harsh words from a sports franchise.
