This could be a dark Thanksgiving for Dish Network customers.
CBS made good on its promise to go dark on the satellite service because of a fee dispute. CBS has barred customer access to 28 local channel in 19 markets across 26 states, according to engadget.com. The black out went into effect at 1 a.m. Tuesday.
If a deal isn’t worked out, Dish customers will miss the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday.
CBS says it has been trying for months to reach an agreement on retransmission fees for its content with Dish.
