Usually but not always in a timely manner. Directv and Viacom got into a pissing match a few months back where a dozen channels or more were dropped for a few weeks. I believe Dish lost AMC as well over similar negotiation problems.

Different situation. Dish owed AMC something like 2.3 billion to AMC because of some contract from AMC's old parent company. This has to do with CBS affiliate owner in B'Ham and Charter, not CBS as a whole.
