One World Sports No Longer Carried on Dish

One World Sports (OWS) no longer is part of Dish Network's lineup after the two failed to negotiate renewal of their carriage agreement, they said in statements. OWS said it's no longer available on Dish and its Sling platform as of Tuesday because Dish insisted on most-favored-nation provisions "that were imbalanced relative to the network's carriage." OWS said it had been seeking carriage in a domestic sports package and in HD format rather than continuing to be packaged in an ethnic channel and in SD, and said Dish declined an extension. Dish said it "constantly evaluates the content we carry and we work to provide channels that our customers demand [and] as a result, channels are sometimes removed to address a combination of customer interests and business objectives.”
