Posted October 1, 20222 yr Woke up this morning and turned on the TV to find out ESPN is not available on Dish Network. Unbelievable! Well, my day is ruined. Might as well go get fuel.

Wow, it's amazing that Dish Network does not have ESPN. It seem from your surprise Dish gave no warning this was going to happen. Not surprising. You might already know this, but if not, hopefully this might help. You could cut Dish Network out and go streaming with Sling or Fubo.tv. Both are cheaper and has all the sports networks. Fubo.tv has 1,000 hours of recording. They both have Pac-12 network. You can sign up with these two streaming networks today. They will give you a week or two, can't remember free to try it out. If you don't like them, you can cancel, no obligation, no cost. At least you can watch Saturday games on ESPN today. I used to have Dish, but left Dish and been streaming ever sense. I have Fubo.tv. I also have Roku on my tv, along with other streaming. Lots of free streaming programs, movies, etc. to watch. Hope this helps.

Yea, it's a long story but I bought dish for my mom to get The Hallmark channel when I moved my parents in with me a couple years ago. Huge regrets. Still have 10 months on contract. Then they are going bye-bye. Dish, not my parents.

On fubo.tv there are also two channels that are called "The Great American Family." My wife likes these channels.
October 1, 20222 yr Just wow! Same thing with Sling. I woke up this morning and no ESPN. I have had Sling for years with no issues. Switching to Fubo.

October 1, 20222 yr Reading the news, both Sling and Dish having this problem. Lots of PISSED customers.
October 1, 20222 yr Author Looks like ACC/SEC networks are affected also. Going to be some angry Dawgs fan.
October 1, 20222 yr Administrator Today's game on Comcast is on Fox Sports 1, even though it is announced as on ESPN. Mr. FishDuck
October 1, 20222 yr Yep. Today was the day I was going to fire up my Sling Orange account again because in the past I could get PAC-12, ESPN, and FS1, etc. When I realized ESPN was no longer available, I stopped the activation. Dish owns Sling. It's time to sling the dirty dish. We already have Hulu, so I added live TV/Disney. All I'm missing is the Pac-12 network. Frankly my dear, I don't give a _________. Why? Because if the Ducks keep improving, I believe other providers will be more inclined to broadcast their games making the Pac-12 Network irrelevant to me. If a game is only broadcast by the Pac-12 Network, I'll gladly listen to Jerry and Jorgy on the Learfield broadcast.

And, I pay the extra for that one channel with a big, fat smile on my face.
October 2, 20222 yr Disney, ESPN, and others dropped from Dish and Sling TV due to contract dispute - The Verge WWW.THEVERGE.COM You can’t watch ESPN on Dish or Sling TV right now.
October 2, 20222 yr This makes me thankful I decided Fubo was the best option for me, instead of Sling.
