Morphtato 43 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) AT&T and NPG are in dispute, with stations set to be pulled after 5 PM CST on Monday 12/16. A note on station sites links to a statement on the NPG main site. http://www.npgco.com/SaveMyLocalStation **UPDATE** - Per a response to a visitor post on KRDO's FB page a tentative agreement has been reached with no carriage interruption.

dman748 1250 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Does the carriage dispute between AT&T and Hearst include DirecTV? Because I've been checking the guide on DirecTV and KOCO hasn't started running the info channel about that as of yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoadStar 363 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 WISN had a ticker notice on last night's 5:30 news. Annoyingly, they used the beep alerts that usually signify severe weather. Granted, this isn't severe weather season, but it still grabbed my attention. I sort of think the beeping should be reserved for severe weather, sort of like how the EAS alert tones can't be used for anything else but EAS. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that they were running something about the carriage dispute on that ticker. And I agree that the beeping should be reserved for severe weather.

tyrannical bastard 3410 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Here's a big one.... https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/comcast-may-lose-nexstar-locals-wgn-america-more-tomorrow/ Nexstar....we all saw that one coming. This is a rarity for Comcast, but now that AT&T has decided to misbehave as a mega-conglomerate, now's their chance too! Looking at Comcast's list on their website, it appears Marquee, Waterman and Paxton (WPSD) are up in February, and Gray & Graham in March. This likely allows for plenty of time for negotiation, and Comcast is being forthcoming about these contracts coming up...

Worth mentioning that Comcast isn’t even including WGN America or WE TV on new packages. Probably they knew they were going to go away.

mrschimpf 2034 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Went to check the WTIC link to see if there was an update and it redirected to a random Cablevision outage story from September and the WBNS 'story' was blank for good reason; Altice has come to terms with Tegna for Suddenlink/Optimum systems, no blackout.

tyrannical bastard 3410 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Mediacom subscribers dodged another bullet. They made good with Nexstar on a new agreement. https://www.multichannel.com/news/mediacom-nexstar-avoid-blackout This stuff is starting to get really stealthy. Should we just assume that on the last day of the year, your channels could be going away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) We do have the first blackout in 2020. Stations owned by the new Cox Media Group (acquired by Apollo Global Management) are blacked out from Verizon Fios systems. The stations affected are WFXT Boston, WPXI Pittsburgh (plus cable channel PCNC) and WSYT Syracuse.

I'm to assume the issue is getting the legacy Cox stations onto the generous Northwest-negotiated deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
