DISH continues to remain open to working with the RSNs to offer sports content in a way that provides choice and value to all customers.ĭISH customers can visit for more information.Ībout DISH DISH Network Corporation is a connectivity company. With this updated RSN model, no customer would be forced to pay for content they don't watch, and the RSNs would determine the price customers would pay for their channels."ĭISH has made this consumer-friendly proposal to MASN and NBC, but they have been unwilling to accept, choosing instead to continue with the old, broken model.

"It would allow DISH TV and SLING TV customers to choose to subscribe to the RSN channels they want - such as the regional MASN and NBC sports networks - on an a la carte basis, similar to premium subscription channels. "Our proposal to offer sports fans access to RSNs is simple, and provides choice and value to all of our customers," added Neylon. This inequitable model has become antiquated due to the rise of a la carte viewing options and specialized streaming services. MASN and NBC RSNs are demanding rates that would be passed on to nearly every customer, whether they watch RSNs or not. As the cost of these channels continues to escalate, we no longer think it makes sense to include them in our TV lineup."
"This model requires nearly all customers to pay for RSNs when only a small percentage of customers actually watch them. Get in touch, please! We want to make connection.”ĪMSN is preparing a workshop for Assembly 17 in Indonesia."The current RSN model is fundamentally broken," said Brian Neylon, Group President, DISH TV. “We want to hear from people in MWC that are working in schools, editing journals, putting on events and conferences remotely related to Anabaptist scholarship. He hopes AMSN can strengthen relationships with scholars in Latin America, Africa, Asia, and serve as a tool for them to find resources and connections to further their work. “We need to decolonize Anabaptist-Mennonite scholarship,” says Jamie Pitts. Research centres and institutions listed on AMSN’s site are mainly North American and European but its members want to see AMSN’s global presence to grow. Its members self-select based on their identity as an Anabaptist or their work on Anabaptist-related themes.
Unlike the emerging MWC network GAHEN ( Global Anabaptist Higher Education Network), which helps Anabaptist schools thrive, AMSN focuses on connecting scholars and fostering research.ĪMSN receives some funding to maintain its webpage of links to events, journals and institutes send a semi-regular e-newsletter and host an annual round-table. “AMSN (Anabaptist Mennonite Scholars Network) helps me to see how the faith and knowledge of global Anabaptist scholarly communities are practiced in various contexts and interconnected with each other,” says Hyejung Jessie Yum, a network member who represents Korean Anabaptist Journal. “I felt like part of a bigger conversation.” He wants to help other scholars in far-flung corners of the world to experience this kind of connection. Receiving newsletters from AMSN, he no longer felt alone. Jamie Pitts first connected with AMSN as a PhD student new to the Mennonite family. “It was a response to the need for more broad networking beyond the narrow confines of traditional Swiss/Russian Mennonite scholarship as well as becoming more inclusive of women,” says Lydia Neufeld Harder.ĭormant for a while, the network has renewed energy under Kyle Gingerich Hiebert and Jamie Pitts (directors, respectively of TMTC and the Institute of Mennonite Studies at Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary).ĪMSN is not only for scholars in Anabaptist-Mennonite theology and history, but also scholars in any field who identify as Anabaptist-Mennonite and find linkages between their research and their faith. “For example, I’m at Conrad Grebel University College, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada,” says Kyle Gingrich Hiebert, “but I may not know what is happening at Canadian Mennonite University, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada – which is so close.” The network aims to fill in that gap.īegun in the 1990s by Lydia Harder Neufeld at the Toronto Mennonite Theological Centre (TMTC), the original purpose was to help graduate students, particularly at the doctoral level, to connect with other Anabaptist-Mennonite scholars in their field.
It fosters global connections in research and to provide a contact point for shared information and resources. The Anabaptist Mennonite Scholars Network connects students and professors within a network of networks. “If there’s something scholarly happening, we want to know about it!” says Kyle Gingrich Hiebert, co-coordinator of the Anabaptist Mennonite Scholars Network (AMSN).
