WEST PALM BEACH, FLA.: ION Media Networks said today that Dish Network will extends ION on its most popular tier. Starting this month, Dish will distribute ION Television as part of its Classic Bronze 100 programming package, expanding ION’s reach to the majority of Dish’s nearly 14 million subscribers.
