It's Fisher Communications in Oregon and Washington who wants too much money for ABC. They want more than a 100% pay increase to keep offering ABC to Dish. From what I've heard, they want the same increase from all providers. Rumor has it that once the current contracts with Fisher expire with both Comcast and Direct, they will also lose ABC because they won't pay what Fisher's asking.
But yes, it has sucked being without ABC for the last 6 months. That's why Dish is giving me a $5 a month credit for a year.
