Dish Network June 6 said its subscribers in six states lost programming on 14 channels operated by Dallas-based Hoak Media due to a dispute over the satellite TV operator’s ad-skipping DVR and retransmission fees.

Meanwhile, the president/GM of a Fargo, N.D., TV station affected by the dispute said the imbroglio was due to contractual language and not Dish’s Auto Hop ad-skipping DVR or a reported 200% increase in retransmission fees sought by Hoak.

“Tonight, it was Dish’s decision to take us down at 5 even though we offered them an extension,” Jim Wareham, president/GM of KVLY/KXJB told Fargo-based Inforum.com.
