I know some people were concerned over losing their Fox channels on Dish Network (and the Bo Pelini show). I just received an e-mail from Dish that an agreement has been reached, and all the Fox channels are again available on Dish.

 
I noticed that Fox Mid-West was available again today (in Lincoln).

Side note for Dish customers on something I didn't notice until a few weeks ago. There are a bunch of SD regional sports networks (including Big 10 Network) available on channels 9660-9677 without the multi-sports package. A lot of the pro games are blacked out but there's extra college sports and insider shows.

The Dish install guy told me in the spring that the duplicate channels in the 9000 range were for older receivers that cannot display SD and HD channels together as the same channel number. I assume that the regional sports networks primarily tune to HD on their normal listing with the SD channel listed in the high range, which for unknown reasons isn't locked.
