RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) - DISH Network customers lost access to KOTA Territory News on Tuesday, March 10 after a renewal agreement was not reached. This means DISH customers no longer have access to MLB, NBA, NCAA basketball, other sports programming, and KOTA Territory News.
If you’re a DISH customer, you can still let them know you want KOTA Territory News and the shows and news you love returned to their lineup by contacting them at 800-333-3474.
DISH has often disrupted access to local television stations in recent years, but viewers have options through other services. Those include DIRECTV, your local cable company, along with streaming services from YouTube TV, Hulu Live, and Fubo.
