AMC Seeks $2.4 Billion From Dish Over Canceled HD Deal

Charles Dolan, founder of Cablevision Systems Corp., told a jury there’s “no question” its high-definition television service would have made money if Dish Network Corp. hadn’t terminated their deal to broadcast it.

Dolan, 85, who is also chairman of Cablevision and AMC Networks Inc., was the first witness in the trial of a lawsuit in which AMC claims Dish wrongfully ended their TV programming contract after two years, leaving it with “massive” losses.
