DISH-KSAN Feud Returns

It seemed like yesterday DISH and KSAN pointed fingers at one another for their failure to reach agreement on a contract.  Friday evening I turned the channel to KSAN and saw a DISH "executive" lobbying viewers to call KSAN and complain.  

Concho Valley Homepage did likewise, running news pieces asking readers to call DISH and complain.  

KLST is owned by Nexstar Broadcasting while KSAN is owned by Mission Broadcasting.  The two local TV stations share staff, facilities and an internet presence.  DISH and KLST last battled in December 2020.

San Angelo Live offered a different assessment over the weekend than they did three years ago when the story was almost non-news.  Both pieces mention NFL games.  

Let the playoffs begin.  How many points should I give DISH in its battle with Mission?

Update 1-22-24:  It took over a year for DISH and Mission to settle their feud.  I imagine political ads fueled the incentive to reach an agreement. 

As for the Superbowl the 2024 version is on CBS.
