Penguins fans who subscribe to the DISH Network won't get to watch the remaining six games scheduled to be broadcast on the Outdoor Life Network this season.
EchoStar Communications Corp. confirmed on Thursday that it is no longer carrying the Comcast-owned OLN because the programmer "recently demanded that EchoStar force millions of additional DISH Network customers to pay for its outdoor programming as a condition to continued availability." The satellite provider said they did not want to pass on those additional costs to their customers.
