This happened two or three years ago between xfinity and nick, but both managed to reach an agreement within a week. I'm sure Cartoon Network will be back on Dish soon! Hm, just because Xfinity and Nick are pretty good at making agreements, doesn't mean Dish will. Dish could possibly want to just brush them away, and probably pull a jerk move by not taking CN back ever. But who knows, they could bring CN back after about 2 weeks. 2 weeks is actually too long. Not a single episode on the Thursday lineup got 2 million viewers, or even close to that. This means that CN needs Dish. And, AT comes back next week and if we see that it only got, say, 1.628 million viewers, then AT and CN are in desparate need of Dish. I agree with you, but Dish and Turner Networks will have to figure how much money they'll want spend to air new episodes to do that.

That's exactly what I mean though. Dish wants more money from them both, so that's why they did it in the first place more than likely. Cartoon Network needs Dish for the viewers, because a majority of families own Dish for it's low prices, so many views comefrom Dish.
