Channel 9 speaks out on impasse with Dish Network

Recently those who rely on the Dish Network found Channel 9 blanked out, replaced with a cordial, yet finger pointing video aimed at KMBC.

In the meantime, what are your options? Get a digital TV antenna for local stations OR make the switcheroo to Direct TV. Unless you have a neighbor that really likes you, who has one of the two already.
