Folks,

Based on a recent thread here at Huntingnet.com, it has come to our attention that a number of you are disappointed about the recent developments regarding Men's Outdoors & Recreation (MOR) and Dish. Having read through the thread, it is also obvious that several of you have received inconsistent and, in some instances, erroneous information from Dish customer service reps. The following statement serves to clarify certain points relating to the current situation, and should you have any additional questions, please feel to post them here or visit our website at www.watchmor.com:

Due to continuing negotiations relating to the distribution our networks on Echostar’s Dish Network, the broadcast of TMG’s suite of networks, including Men’s Outdoors & Recreation (MOR), has been suspended on Dish. This unfortunate circumstance has occurred despite our efforts to maintain your ability to view our networks during these discussions. We are working directly with Echostar at the highest levels to resolve this issue and get our programming back on the air as soon as possible. Until that time, we find it necessary to clarify several points of information that our viewers have been told by Dish customer service representatives:

1)The Media Group did not suspend the delivery of our networks on Dish; Dish made the decision late Friday, July 13th, to suspend the broadcast of our networks.

2)MOR and Beauty & Fashion continue to broadcast on DirecTV, Channels 604 & 223, respectively. You can also find TMG’s networks on multiple Time Warner and other select cable systems. Please check with your cable or satellite provider for further details or to request one of our networks.

3)Although we are not at liberty to discuss the details of our negotiations with Dish, we can say that despite our understanding of Dish CSR comments to the contrary, the suspension of our networks has nothing to do with a TMG request for “more money”, as we have made no such request.

Our thanks for your continued support as we work to get the programs you love back on Dish.

The Executive Team at MOR
