In light of the Echostar / Viacom dispute which has cut the Viacom networks from Echostar households, Chicago Media Action is holding a press conference tonight, March 9, on Chicagoans' views of the dispute.

The conference will be at the meeting offices where CMA has its biweekly meetings: 3411 W. Diversey, at 8pm tonight.

Update: It's official. Echostar has dropped the Viacom channels. (I guess that's what they mean by "March Madness".)
