Dish Network and Fox Corporation were able to come to terms last weekend, ending the blackout of Fox owned-and-operated local stations, as well as FS1, FS2, BTN, Fox Soccer Plus and Fox Deportes. The blackout of those channels, which began late last month, was notable for its timing. The fall college and professional seasons had just begun — as well as the new fall season of prime time programming on Fox. Dish is no stranger to disputes with content providers, and its feud with AT&T-owned HBO is nearing the one-year mark.
