Tonight’s Stars Telecast NOT on Dish Network

Dish Network customers in Dallas and the surrounding area won’t receive the Stars-Nashville game being telecast by Fox Sports Southwest.

Fox SW increased this season’s schedule to 61 games and, according to the Stars, increased the charge paid by local cable and satellite systems. Dish was the only carrier that declined to pay the increase and is currently scheduled to miss out on 20 games, including tonight and Friday night’s home game against Boston.

The TV partners of the NHL do such a clever job growing the game…You can’t get Versus on DirecTV. You can’t get the NHL Network on Time Warner. You can’t get 20 Stars games on FSSW on Dish.

The Stars & the NHL should be a business school case study of how not to run a business.
From alienating season ticket holders when the team moved from Reunion to the new arena, to the lockout, the escalating ticket prices, the move from ESPN to VS, now 20 games missing for DISH viewers, ever executive decision made by this team/league is another nail in the coffin of this sport.
