NEW YORK -- The NFL Network and Dish Network announced a settlement Friday that ends a lawsuit over how the satellite provider broadcasts the channel.
The agreement includes a multiyear deal for Dish to continue carrying NFL Network. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
NFL Network will remain in the 200-channel package under Friday's settlement.
---------------------------------------------
This is good news for Dish. It may not be the best news for those Dish customers with the cheapest package, but NFL Network really doesn't deserve to have that many viewers.
I still have hope that the NFL Network one day discovers basic economics. If they lower their price to something pretty reasonable, the cable companies and satellite companies will put it on their cheapest tiers. Until then, they will have millions less customers than they could have.
