Dish Network Corp has dropped the National Football League-owned sports channels, NFL Network and NFL RedZone, from its programming lineup.
The contract expired on Thursday evening, after the two parties were unable to come to terms on a new distribution agreement.
The NFL said Dish was the first distributor to black out its channels in its 13-year history and has set up a website that lists out television networks that still carry its channels.
The NFL shares broadcast rights to 10 other Thursday Night soccer games with Comcast Corp’s NBC and CBS Corp.
