NowBergen 448 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 My understanding is that the Mission “owned” stations are not included. Nexstar has more work to do before claiming “mission accomplished.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megatron81 166 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Nexstar would be in hot water if they tried to get a deal with Mission with DIRECTV as even know that it is a shell company Mission has to get a deal with Pay-TV on their own. Seems that smaller companies take forever to get done with DIRECTV, Dish with Mission almost a year it has been off both Sat TV. I was without Wood TV for year when Suckyvision oh I mean Cablevision in Kazoo couldn't agree with them in 97 but Cablevision always got Wood TV back on just in time for Super Bowls 28, 30 & 32. I didn't have Cablevision for Super Bowls 28 & 30 although Cablevision found a loop pole in 96 Wood TV returned after a week or 10 days. When there wasn't a deal ever reached why it was off for a year before 2 days before Super Bowl 32 and at the time it wasn't even about retrans it was to get a local weather channel on basic cable which Cablevision refused which became WXSP in Aug of 99 as a general entertainment channel and UPN station. Wasn't until Charter bought Suckyvision in Kazoo when WXSP was in the lineup May of 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it went off when the so called Mission stations did, but when the entire Nexstar group did. It seemed Nexstar was playing games here. Hopefully now that the FCC is at full strength, they will take a look at these "sidecars" whose only purpose is to skirt ownership caps, and at the expense of viewers. I was in RI where Nexstar controls three stations. Only one was restored - the CBS affiliate. The Fox and CW were still off the air (owned my Mission on paper).

For all the criticism we throw Sinclair, at least they began to consolidate their Fox/MNTV/CW stations on their own signals so that what are now subfarm husks aren't really painful losses if the lawyer stuck doing the Vaughn or Cunningham negotiations gets a hair up there and the customer loses TBD or Dabl. Nexstar really needs to get these companies in order and on the same page, or the FCC will do it for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cox stations are still not on Dish, it’s been a year so far. dish really drags things out in their negotiations 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexstar has more work to do before claiming “mission accomplished.” I'm sorry, but this is "one step forward, two steps back" for Nexstar and DirecTV. The "Mission Broadcasting owned" stations have been dark on DirecTV (satellite and stream) for almost a year now, when it's obvious that Nexstar "operates" these stations. Nexstar is clearly double-dipping with TV providers when it comes to retransmission fees, and the FCC should really do something about it. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megatron81 166 Posted Tuesday at 07:20 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:20 PM Good thing that AT&T/DirecTV got a deal done with Nexstar a couple of months ago it's no big loss losing TEGNA WZZM as you can watch ABC on WOTV in West Michigan at least.

mrschimpf 1864 Posted Wednesday at 12:01 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:01 AM There just needs to plain be a rule that RTC announcements are limited to commercial time and that's it. They're not on the level of EAS/NOAA warnings and non-applicable to folks who don't have these providers, and just generally interfere with watching a program. It's absurd with cable disputes, but at least there they have the excuse of having to transmit to multiple broadcasters. There's less excuse with both a local TV station, and the ability to just not send the ticker on a certain provider if you have that direct connection to the headend, and it simply shouldn't appear for OTA viewers outside Dish disputes (because they're still in 1982 as far as signal acquisition). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
