No Local Channels Through TWC? Get DISH
With football season in full swing, losing access to the weekend game through a local cable operator isn't a good thing.
That's the predicament some viewers found themselves in after Time Warner Cable dropped LIN TV stations last week due to a retransmission consent skirmish between the companies. Stations dropped by the MSO are located the football cities of Buffalo, Green Bay and Indianapolis.
Other Time Warner markets losing LIN stations are Austin, Columbus, Dayton, Fort Wayne, Ind., Mobile, Ala., Springfield, Mass., Terre Haute, Ind., and Toledo, Ohio.
To battle the cable operator, LIN TV has a partnership in place with DISH Network in which viewers in the affected markets can pick up a $50 incentive to get the satellite TV service installed at their home. The promotion between the companies include advertising on TV station Web sites and at DISH's online site, and viewers who want to take advantage of the offer are encouraged to call DISH.
