As fight with Dish Network continues, Univision switches their top games away from Univision Deportes Network.

Univision and Dish Network are currently involved in a hostile dispute over programming rights and now Univision has started using Liga MX as a tool at the cost of the fans. The dispute meant that on June 30, their three big channels, Univision, Unimas and Galavision went dark for Dish system subscribers. Univision Deportes (UDN) continues to be shown on Dish systems, but although Univision used to broadcast the majority of the games through UDN, Univision has suddenly starting broadcasting their most popular games through Univision only. This week the America-Atlas, Chivas-Cruz Azul and Pumas-Necaxa games were in Univision only to pressure fans to either switch systems to others or pressure Dish network.
