Dish Customers Could Lose WPXI-TV Programming
The satellite service's agreement to carry the station expires Tuesday, the station says.
PITTSBURGH, PA - WPXI-TV is warning Dish customers that they could lose the station's programming Tuesday because the station has been unable to come to terms with the satellite service on a new carriage agreement.
WPXI announced on its website that its existing Dish agreement expires Jan. 14 at 7 p.m.
"We are continuing to negotiate with DISH, but DISH has refused to agree to reasonable terms for the valuable programming we provide," a release on the website stated.
