What was in that story that was untrue?

What was in that story that was untrue?

Even if 100% true, the language the writer used hinted at a possible dislike for DISH.

 

[navychop]

"HINTED?"

Rubbed it in our face. I stopped reading the sycophant Dish hater replies.

He says that he thinks that DISH will sell off its massive spectrum to like Verizon and then Charlie rides off into the sunset for his retirement. He thinks the whole cell phone thing was a joke and this was his true intention to get out of Dodge. He might be right on the spectrum, since it is doubtful DISH will have enough to pay for the massive build out and towers in rural areas, which are more expensive in the first place than cities. But satellite is dying out, a million subscribers a year now just for DISH. Directv is even losing more subs than DISH but they were already at a larger number subscribers than DISH was, so they will follow DISH I'm sure in going under. I give them 4 years at the earliest and to 5 years maximum left of any profitability. Then we will be talking about Bankruptcy.

Keep in mind that channels are also leaving broadcasters. ESPN has hinted about going stream only subs. CNN hinted after 2024 election they will be going to stream only to Time Warner streaming services only, so cable companies going under also

Neither ESPN or CNN will be going streaming only anytime soon and no one has hinted that.

With ESPN, the plan is to offer a streaming version alongside the Live TV Provider's version, the main reason is to make up the per sub fees lost ( now over 30 million households have left Paid Live TV out of 100 Million).

By the time ESPN streaming launches in late 2025, early 2026, there will still be about 50 Million Households subscribing to Live TV, no way will they give up on those per sub fees, but there will be 80 Million Households ( out of 130 Million households total in the United States) that are Cord Cutters/Nevers that Disney wants to draw from, how many will subscribe is a unknown number.

With CNN, plan is to add the Live Feed to MAX, they are already going to do so in other markets.

If you read the headline, you would think CNN is going stream only. Article does not confirm that though

CNN going exclusively to streaming? I can already hear the toilet flushing. Say "Good by!".

Yeah that is the Max International, not Max in the US.
