Some people mistakenly believe they won’t be able to get local channels with satellite service. But that’s not the case, in fact, Dish Network provides local channels in most regions with most of their channel packages.

For an additional $5.00 a month you will receive local news, weather, and sports when you subscribe to local channel programming coupled with any of their standard programming packages. You will receive the major networks-ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW, and PBS. This way you can have the best of both worlds, the premium satellite service you want and all of the local news and weather you need.

It’s easy to find out how. You can perform a search on Dish Network’s website to find out what local channels are available in your area and then just give them a call to subscribe.
