Any negotiations as far as Dish Network carrying the two new soccer networks (BeIN Sports 1 and 2 USA) slated to launch next month?

I called dish today the reps have no clue.

They don't even know about the channel.

CSR's tend to know nothing about potential new channels until they actually become new channels.

All indications are Dish Network is getting it. They have al jazzera sports already in there lineup, why wouldn't they carry bein it would make no sense. Plus dish is the leader of international programming.
