Dish Signs Short-Term Carriage Extension With Turner Broadcasting

Dish Network and Turner Broadcasting signed a short-term carriage extension that runs through the first quarter of '15. The deal includes TBS and TNT, whose deals with the satellite provider expire in early December. The deal also returns several Turner networks to Dish Network, which were dropped in October because of the contract dispute. Sports programming will play a key role in the negotiations, as the deal now expires around the same time that Turner networks carries NCAA Tournament men's basketball games and the run-up to the NBA postseason.

Dish Network, which has about 14 million subscribers, also is in the middle of tense negotiations with NBC Sports group over its RSNs in Baltimore/DC, Chicago and S.F. The deals end Dec. 1, and NBC Sports Group warned that they likely would be dropped leaving none of NBC Sports Group's RSN on the satellite service. Dish dropped NBC Sports Group's CSN New England over the summer. NBC released a statement this morning saying, "With Dish's current disputes with Turner and CBS, and its well-established history of unreasonable negotiating tactics that unfairly target consumers, this dispute is not at all impacted by Comcast's pending merger with Time Warner Cable."
