Fox has gone on the offensive following Dish Network and Sling TV's decision to drop several of its channels yesterday, which included Fox’ owned-and-operated broadcast stations, FS1, FS2, Big Ten Network and Fox Deportes. Fox runs a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal today that reads, "Dish Took Your Favorite Fox Sports Away." It goes on to state: "Millions will miss NFL on Sunday and Rams vs Seahawks on Thursday" (THE DAILY). Meanwhile, during last night's Eagles-Packers "TNF" broadcast, Fox "released a commercial about Dish dropping the Fox channels." It was a "full-on scripted commercial featuring actors." In the fourth quarter, Fox aired another "scripted commercial." Fox has "clearly been prepared for Dish Network pulling the channels for a long while, and they’re now putting on an all-out blitz" (AWFULANNOUNCING.com, 9/26).
