CNN and several other Turner-owned cable channels have disappeared from Dish Network homes due to a contractual dispute between the two companies.
Dish provides satellite television service to about 14 million households, roughly 1 out of 7 homes that subscribe to some form of TV package in the United States.
Turner, a unit of Time Warner (TWX), urged customers affected by the blackout to contact Dish and "demand that they bring back your favorite channels." The channels are CNN, HLN, CNN en Espanol, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, truTV, TCM and Boomerang.
Turner's two biggest entertainment channels, TNT and TBS, are not blacked out because they're provided to Dish under a separate contract.
While Turner blamed Dish for "operating in a disruptive manner," Dish blamed Turner for "making unreasonable financial demands."
