Dish Network’s message was on full display Tuesday in downtown Richmond.
A dispute between a local company and a satellite TV provider is getting more turbulent.
Dish Network Tuesday dispatched a plane to circle downtown Richmond, towing a banner that blasted Media General, which is headquartered at 333 E. Franklin St. “Media General, give me my TV!” the banner read.
It’s the latest public stunt in an ongoing feud over programming rates. Dish Network in recent weeks hit the streets with mobile billboards decrying Media General demands for higher rates to carry its TV stations.
Media General owns 18 television stations, mostly throughout the Southeast, and the two companies have been trading barbs for months. The dispute has left Dish customers in some markets without access to certain Media General-owned channels.
The companies reached a temporary agreement last week when Media General asked Dish to temporarily carry its stations in markets that needed access to hurricane coverage.
