Another pay TV battle as Dish, Lin spar over fees

The stations are affiliates of CBS, Fox, NBC, ABC and the CW in 17 cities including Indianapolis, Providence, R.I., and Buffalo, N.Y.

Dish Network Corp.'s Dave Shull says Lin is demanding more than double the current fee in the first year and even more later. He says he's "frustrated" that Lin publicized the dispute, which had remained behind closed doors until Monday.

If a deal isn't reached by 2 a.m. EST Saturday, some satellite TV households may lose the signals of local stations. Neither side would say how many subscribers would be affected.
