Dish to drop U.S.Weather Channel in fee dispute

"Weather Channel is asking for significant increases, but the problem I have is not the increases, it's that this is not a product my customers want," Dish Network chief Dave Shull said in an interview. Shull said the Weather Channel had been unable to satisfactorily provide localized weather information for satellite TV service, which he said was a source of frustration for Dish customers. "Weather Channel was structured for cable and its service was not localized enough for our subscribers," said Shull in an interview. Reuters
