DISH and Hearst Television Inc., WBBH’s parent company, are currently negotiating a renewal of the retransmission consent agreement for the carriage of Hearst broadcast stations on DISH’s systems.
Satellite distributors are prohibited by law from carrying broadcasters’ signals without their consent. The removal of WBBH’s signal from the DISH system will only result if negotiations between representatives of Hearst and DISH are unsuccessful in reaching a conclusion before 2 PM Eastern September 8th.
Hearst has a long history of successfully concluding carriage agreements with cable companies and other satellite distributors with no disruption of service to subscribers.
While we hope to conclude our negotiations before September 8th, so as not to deprive any of our respective viewers and customers of our programming, we want to advise our viewers and customers that the possibility of non-renewal of our current agreement exists.
