PEACE WITH DISH In a related development, CSN Chicago also came to terms over the weekend with satellite TV provider Dish Network on a new multi-year agreement to keep its network on the air after a public fight over carriage fees. The two sides had been tussling in recent weeks over how much Dish would pay per month to show CSN Chicago to its more than 300,000 area subscribers after their most recent contract expired earlier this month. Dish officials accused CSN and four of its sister regional networks owned by NBC Sports Group of strong-arming the carrier into paying an exorbitant fee—20 percent more than they had been paying, Dish said—because of the market share NBCUniversal parent Comcast could soon have through a merger with Time Warner Cable. That deal stands to give the combined entity 30 percent of the U.S. pay-TV market. CSN denounced the accusation and said its asking fees represented fair market value, chiding Dish for its "well-established history of unreasonable negotiating tactics."
