Add Cox Media Group to the list of broadcast television station owners that are presently engaged in a retransmission consent agreement impasse with a direct broadcast satellite company. This time, it involves Dish, and the "black out" sees each side, to little surprise, pointing fingers at one another.

Could it be months before all Nexstar Media Group-owned broadcast TV channels and the WGN America network return to Dish? It just took Cox Media Group, controlled by Apollo Global Management, nearly five months to ink a new deal with the direct broadcast satellite TV services provider.

The COVID-19 pandemic and continued "Black Lives Matter"-fueled protests across the U.S. has made local TV news programming more valuable than ever. Tell that to the individuals who have failed to negotiate a new retrans deal between Cox Media Group, now majority-held by Apollo Global Management, and one of the nation's two DBS providers.

It's something rare when a media company claims victory at the precise moment thousands of its viewers are being prevented from consuming its content. Yet, that's exactly what transpired Wednesday as Apollo Management Group-controlled Cox Media Group cheered its win of a "major ruling" that it says ended "the latest misguided efforts" by Dish.

It took a pandemic to put a stop to a retransmission consent dispute that, by law, has blocked Cox Media Group stations from reaching DISH customers in 10 DMAs. The markets are those comprising what was Brian Brady's Northwest Broadcasting, now a part of Cox's “Terrier” assets.

Harnessing the power of social media is a worthy goal for any business operating in today’s reality, and that means having the will to actually interact with customers who use the medium to interact with companies. Among media organizations, DISH and Cox are the best.

In 2020, a retransmission consent disagreement between Cox Media Group and Dish lasted five months. Two years later, no new accord could be agreed upon between the direct broadcast satellite company and the over-the-air TV station owner. Now, after 17 months, a new carriage agreement has been signed.

As the clock struck midnight Saturday, CMG was already on the offensive, noting how the direct broadcast satellite provider “already dropped hundreds of stations over the last few months,” and that “this latest drop is a continuation of its ongoing mission against local journalism.”

With retransmission consent impasses involving Standard Media, Cox Media Group and properties operated by Nexstar Media Group via shared services agreements clouding its operations in recent months, DISH Network has priced an offering of its 11.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2027. They'll be issued at a price of 102% of the principal amount.

Standard Media, led by CEO Deb McDermott, is making headlines for failing to reach a fresh retransmission consent agreement with one of the nation's two direct broadcast satellite television service providers. And, it makes no bones about which party is at fault for the impasse.

Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group (AMG) is comprised of local free-to-air radio stations, the Local NOW OTT platform, and several television networks. Three of these networks are accessible via MVPD Comcast, and on Charter Communications' Spectrum platform. As of today, a new MVPD has been added to the mix, with a deal in place as of today with Cox Contour TV.

Yet another battle royale over retransmission consent fees has started. This time, it involves one of the nation's two direct broadcast satellite (DBS) companies and the company that Standard General, headed by Soo Kim, and Apollo Global Management seek to own.

On the same day that DISH released a sterling Q2 earnings report, the company isn't playing nice with one of the nation's biggest broadcast TV station owners. That's at least Sinclair's side of the story, as it prepares to see its stations face a "blackout" on DISH's local lineups in the absence of a new retransmission consent agreement.

Baseball fans across the Baltimore-Washington corridor, and in the San Francisco Bay Area, who are Dish customers are in the dark -- literally -- should they wish to enjoy MLB's Opening Day telecasts of their local baseball teams. The lack of a new carriage agreement led the DBS provider to block the RSNs, in lieu of a new deal.

As the sun rose on the East Coast of the U.S. Monday, Colorado-based DISH -- a company involved in a host of retransmission consent disputes that's very intent on growing its 5G connectivity business -- released its Q4 and FY 2020 results. Revenue beat the street, but investors weren't thrilled. DISH was down 4.2% as the Closing Bell rang Tuesday.
