As a result, DISH Network can no longer deliver the channel to its customers and is taking legal action against Globestar. “We are very disappointed that Mega Cosmos has decided to remove their channel from DISH Network and we are doing everything we can to fight this unfair action,” said Tracy Thompson, Vice President of International Programming for EchoStar. “We encourage customers to contact Mega Cosmos directly at 1-866-780-5367 during Greek business hours with concerns.” Despite the loss of Mega Cosmos, DISH Network still has the most Greek programming in the U.S. with 10 channels.
