tyrannical bastard 2871 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Some markets are more affected than others, I wonder if Nexstar/Mission is even aware in the possible instance if they choose to run one of these ads in a market where Comcast/Xfinity does not provide service.

Most station groups have basic knowledge of what providers exist in a certain area so you don't get embarrassing situations like this ad airing on WFRV, where one Comcast system exists in the entire state of Wisconsin, or KTVI/KPLR, in Spectrum's home city. Comcast customers get Peacock free with local stations $5 extra, so this is becoming a problem easily solved by the consumer, and Comcast is still getting paid; they could also just presumably pipe in a distant NBC/TMD owned station the same way Time Warner did to Nexstar during a Hearst dispute and if Congress somehow whines, takes the fine as 'putting the customer first'. Same with Paramount+. And the CW is in its holiday dead period so nobody's going to care if they miss Riverdale.

TheRob 827 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Not surprisingly, Comcast and Nexstar have reached a deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megatron81 124 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Never seen a TV station group tell them to demand a rebate when TV stations go dark with insert Pay-TV provider like Nexstar did with Comcast before they got a new deal.
