on may 20, 2010, dish network announced that it was dropping the weather channel at 12:00 a.m. eastern time that day in favor of its own similar weather information channel, the weather cast. the carriage dispute was over the rates that the weather channel asked dish network to pay: from 11¢ per subscriber per month to 12¢, a 9% increase, totaling $140,000 per month. the dispute was also over the weather channel's programming format shifting from an information-based channel to an entertainment-based service. the weather channel said in a statement, "dish has chosen to be the first distributor to drop the weather channel rather than pay the standard industry rates others in the industry have already agreed to pay", and encouraged dish network customers to switch to other pay television providers. dave shull, senior vice president for programming for dish network said the weather channel's fees were harder for the satellite provider to justify paying as more people receive weather information through the internet and mobile services: "they're looking for bid increases when i feel like there's a real migration to the web, and it's difficult to really justify those rate increases at this time."
