New England sports fans lost another option for watching Bruins and Red Sox games late Monday night when DISH TV issued a blunt statement announcing it was dropping NESN from its channel lineup.
“We have offered multiple solutions to keep NESN on DISH TV while providing the best value to all our customers,” said Bryan Neylon, DISH TV president. “We made an offer for NESN to be a separate standalone package, similar to premium channels like HBO or Showtime – they refused. We also offered NESN to be part of select DISH programming packages, but they refused this as well.
