tyrannical bastard 3057 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 876 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 144 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.

tyrannical bastard 3057 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Another OTT dispute. Hulu has dropped all of Sinclair's ABC stations... https://cordcuttersnews.com/hulu-drops-sinclair-owned-abc-stations/ With the bad relationship between Fubo and Paramount (with certain affiliate groups dropping their CBS stations and Fubo replacing with a network feed), retrans disputes like this could be much more common, especially if station groups get their way like they do with other pay TV providers...

They killed the golden goose and are now in the process of killing the bronze goose. I'm not paying your stinking retransmission fees. If the online providers start with that garbage, I'm dropping them too, just like I dropped the cable company. And if they figure out a way to make me pay over the air using ATSC 3.0, I can live without TV. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You consider retransmission disputes to be entirely the providers' (read: cable companies, Hulu, Fubo, etc.) fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care who's fault it is, I care about the damage to my wallet. I dropped cable when retrain and sports fees got tacked on to the bottom of the bill to the tune of $30. My cable and internet bill was roughly $165 and that was 2 years ago. I got rid of the cable and just do internet now and I'm perfectly happy with it. In fact, at the time, the cable company was encouraging us to do this so that they didn't have to fool around with these wars with the TV providers anymore either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.L. Hughes 583 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) DirecTV is suing Nexstar, along with Mission Broadcasting and White Knight Broadcasting, over the carriage dispute with the two sidecars that has been going on since last October, accusing the companies of price fixing and “engaging in an illegal conspiracy” to manipulate negotiations on retrans fee rates through Nexstar’s SSA/JSAs with the Mission and White Knight stations.
