DISH NETWORK DOWNGRADES NFL NETWORK
In a move that some analysts interpreted as an act of retaliation against the NFL for allowing both CBS and NBC to carry the NFL Network's coverage of the New England Patriots-New York Giants game at the end of last season, DISH Network said on Wednesday that it has yanked the network from its "Top 100" package, the most popular of its subscriber packages, and had downgraded it to its "Top 200" package. The move leaves the NFL Network, which has been in a fight with cable TV operators to be included in basic-cable packages, with four million fewer potential viewers. A spokesman for the NFL said, "We are aware of Dish's unfortunate decision, which is not in the best interest of its many subscribers who are football fans."
