COURT TV ADJOURNED ON DISH NETWORK

Court TV has been pulled from Echostar's DISH satellite system after the two companies were unable to reach a new contract agreement. Turner Broadcasting, the parent company of Court TV, issued a statement saying that Echostar was "unwilling to pay the standard industry rate for a popular network that is currently ranked in the Top 20. We are disappointed with their decision, and hope that we can reach resolution, but in the meantime, our cable operator partners and DirecTV are able to provide this network to Court TV fans." Echostar did not immediately comment.
