Anyone had any local networks impacted by this? I’m currently approaching a week without my CBS affiliate. There are 20 markets that have lost Fox affiliates and won’t be able to see the MLB All-Star game.
quote:

About 120 Nexstar stations in 97 markets went dark to DirecTV, DirecTV Now and AT&T Uverse customers at 11:59 p.m. on July 3 after the parties could not reach a retransmission consent agreement. Nexstar said it offered to extend the deal through Aug. 2 as negotiations continued, but was rebuffed by AT&T.

Apparently some members of Congress are getting involved.
quote:

Legislators continued to turn up the heat in the ongoing retransmission consent battle between DirecTV and Nexstar Media Group, with representatives from seven states, including U.S. Sens. John Thune (R-S.D.) and John Kennedy (R-La.), joining Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) in sending letters to DirecTV parent AT&T urging for an end to the blackout as it enters its fifth day.

I missed the Women’s World Cup Final because of it.

I was actually going to tune in but this fight made me miss it. I honestly appreciate these companies for doing that.

NBC in my market is down. Just call directv and request the east and west coast network package if it's a huge deal. I don't know if they'll do it (they're pretty stingy about even acknowledging the networks exist), but you can get all the New York and LA network stations for about $12 extra per month.

U-verse still doesn’t have NFL Network either. This will be straining in about a month.

Yeah I'm down CBS, nbc, and Cw. It sucks. I'm fixing to switch to Comcast.
