on the DirecTV/Boomberg News dispute, i think it came down to 2 factors for dropping the channel, and the factors are "increasing retransmission fees" and "declining viewership/ratings". DirecTV in the last 5 to 10 years have been dropping channels due to those 2 reasons combined, as they felt it's not worth keeping when the network's getting greedy and nobody's watching anyway, hence why they dropped them.

Tegna owned stations are now removed from Dish Network due to the dispute.
If you're going to blame someone, blame TEGNA. Dish is on the consumer's side for lower prices.
Agreed. The broadcast TV business model is increasingly broken, with stations jacking up retransmission fees to make up for advertising revenue shortfalls, all for a service that is free with an antenna. Might be why Tegna is now seriously entertaining buyout offers in order to grab a big payoff and run away.
Doesn't matter in West Michigan since ABC can be seen on WOTV for those that have Dish they can watch ABC programs it's no loss. Just like when Dish & Nexstar were in a dispute last Dec could watch ABC on WZZM the big loss was losing WoodTV. Dish is the worse when it comes to blacking out networks always seems to be in a dispute with someone Dish isn't for the little guy either.
As everyone knows, disputes happen on just about all the cable and satellite carriers. It's a wonder Dish and Sinclair came to an 11th-hour deal. That wasn't the case with Northwest/Apollo/Cox and DIRECTV a couple of years ago - we lost the first half of the FOX NFL season thanks to a pi$$ing match.
There are talks for local affiliates to have a retrans carriage talks for consideration in relation to OTT services.

Don't forget streaming providers too like YouTubeTV they almost had removed NBC owned stations off the lineup due to the dispute until they got a new deal. It's quickly coming to streaming providers too. Roku was named in disputes like dish at one point.
Keep in mind that local stations in the medium and smaller markets derive half or more of their revenue from carriage fees and not from advertisers. Most would be out of business were it not for the fees; that is what keeps local news and sports alive in those markets.

Attention DISH network customers, you will continue to receive KAPP-KVEW TV as both parties continue to negotiate on a long-term agreement. We will work hard to find a fair deal.
Negotiations continue for Morgan Murphy and Dish over a deal.
Sinclair in a dispute with the MLB over streaming rights.
I think Manfred sees little to gain by helping Bally Sports out. He surely understands that the RSN model is foundering, and it might be advantageous to MLB's clubs for Bally Sports to default so that the teams could head in another direction of their own choosing, rather than letting Bally Sports take it in their preferred direction.
