Dish Network Subscribers have probably noticed that programming from Tulsa's News on 6 is not available because the two sides have not reached a contract agreement.  The same thing happened about 2 years ago.  President Griffin Communications -- KOTV's parent company -- David Griffin says he has be trying to negotiate with Dish since early this fall but Dish only recently got serious.

Griffin says you can help by calling Dish at 855-318-0572 and ask them to return KOTV to the Dish line-up and if you want, you can also ask for a partial refund of the fee you pay for local channels while Channel 6 has been missing.

Dish Network dropped Tulsa's News on 6 as of Saturday because its contract with the station's parent company expired.  David Griffin says he just wants the same terms that it has with other cable and satellite providers.  He asks you to call Dish Network and ask them return News on 6 programming to their line-up.
  
Griffin says if you want, you can also ask for a partial refund for the inconvenience.
   
Griffin says his company has been trying to negotiate a contract with Dish since early this fall.

He says Dish only started contract negotiations in earnest late in December.  KOTV has already reached terms with all of the other cable and satellite providers.
 
Griffin Communications is an Oklahoma-based company.  The other Tulsa television stations are owned by much larger national corporations.
