FNC and FBC off Dish Net

Dish Network subscribers were unable to watch Fox News Channel and the Fox Business Network on Sunday when the channels were taken down as part of contract negotiations.

The Fox blackout is just the latest skirmish as cable and satellite TV providers fight with networks over subscription fees.

Dish has more than 14 million satellite TV customers.

Slain NYPD officers being remembered

A New York Police Department baseball cap surrounded by flowers, teddy bears and candles is marking the Brooklyn spot where 2 police officers were killed by a gunman who was targeting law enforcement.  Visitors from other boroughs have come to Thompson and Myrtle avenues to pay their respects to officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu.

The men were killed Saturday as they sat in their patrol car. The gunman killed himself shortly afterward. He had posted online about his intention of killing police officers.

Among the visitors to the spot Sunday was 58-year-old Gary Watson of the Hamilton Heights section of Manhattan. He had a card and a money order that he wanted to donate to the officers’ families.

Police Commissioner speaks out after officers’ deaths

New York City’s police commissioner says 2 officers shot to death Saturday as they sat in their car were “assassinated – targeted for their uniform.” Commissioner Bill Bratton says gunman Ismaaiyl Brinsley shot and wounded his former girlfriend in Baltimore earlier Saturday and made online posts about killing police in retaliation for the killings of Eric Garner and Michael Brown by police.  Brinsley was chased by officers into a subway station.  He then shot himself in the head.
