"Dish has had a productive relationship with Turner Networks for many years," Warren Schlichting, Dish's senior vice president of programming, said in a statement. "We regret the service disruption to our customers, and remain committed to reaching an agreement that promptly returns this content to Dish’s programming lineup."
Other channels Turner yanked from Dish's programming include Boomerang, HLN, truTV, CNN en Espanol and Turner Classic Movies.
Englewood, Colorado-based Dish said that it's still committed to reaching an agreement with Turner that will allow the channels to return to its lineup quickly.
