The second Saturday in October means one thing in Texas: Red River Rivalry. Unfortunately, a lot of DISH subscribers in Texas won’t get to watch the game.
Texas-Oklahoma isn’t on TV in much of Longhorn country, and fans are bombing DISH’s mentions
If you’re at the University of Texas right now, you might not be able to watch Texas’ biggest rivalry game of the year.

Because Tegna & DISH have reached an impasse, OU-Texas will not be available for DISH subscribers in Austin, DFW & 7 other markets
