This morning after a long battle with CBS Dish dropped CBS-owned CBS locals, CBS Sports Network, Pop, and the Smithsonian Channel. Both sides are blaming the other but the story is one we have all heard before.

Sadly this happens just as the Thanksgiving holiday is coming up full of football and and other holiday shows. The good news though is Dish subscribers have options to watch CBS.
