Barring a last-second agreement, Dish Network subscribers won't be able to watch today's Arizona State-Oregon State football game.
A financial dispute caused the satellite provider to drop Fox Sports Arizona and 18 other regional FSN stations Friday, in addition to FX and the National Geographic Channel.
FSAZ will air more than 150 games featuring the Suns, Coyotes, ASU, UA, NAU and New Mexico State this season. The Diamondbacks' finale will air Sunday.
The Arizona Wildcats could appear on FSAZ on Oct. 23 against Washington, Oct. 30 at UCLA or Nov. 6 at Stanford, depending on how the conference games are split up by networks in the coming weeks.
UA athletic director Greg Byrne, a Dish Network customer, said he spoke with FSAZ on Thursday.
"It's important for our fan base to know this is an issue for those that have Dish," Byrne said. "It's obviously getting people's attention."
