Fans share feelings about MWC TV deal

• "I'm with Dish Network and have called probably 10 times to request The mtn. Not once has any employee known what I was talking about. I feel that trying to reach them by phone is almost pointless. However, I just discovered the satellite CEOs can much more easily be reached online ...

Now we're a couple of states away from LaVell Edwards Stadium, and we can't see a thing. What a shame that the MWC has done this to their fans.
