Is the "live" Dish Network news feed gone?

On this morning JFK-SFO flight at 0955, I clicked on the Dish Network icon and, for the first time for me, none of these appeared on the list:

CNN
MSNBC
CNBC
Fox News
two local New York City stations

Is this the end of "live" news as we know it on Virgin America flights, or did I just hit a flight with a technical issue? I did listen to CNN for an hour via the Tune In app on my phone, using my free hour of T Mobile wi-fi on board, an an alternative.

Anyone else notice the same issue today?
