Nelson R. 569 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 So Nexstar and Dish might be the next one. https://506sports.com/forum/index.php?topic=23469.0 This would leave Charlotte viewers without WJZY, WMYT, WSOC AND WAXN. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15949-retransmission-consent-squabbles/page/17/#findComment-253867 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how you just write stuff like that without anything to back it up. According to the lawsuit he filed against AT&T, DirecTV stopped paying retransmission fees as soon as Circle City bought the stations. If true, wanting to get the money the previous owner got for the same stations seems like being a good businessman to me, not "a greedy idiot." 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15949-retransmission-consent-squabbles/page/17/#findComment-253871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENDude 217 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 KUSA is reporting this morning that in Denver this dispute is only affecting KUSA/NBC programing for now. I havn't seen the crawl on KTVD at all & the KTVD website doesn't have the "Attention AT&T/DirecTV customers" banner on there website.

WISH is also not available on YouTubeTV or Hulu Live. It seems that the cable companies are the only ones carrying DuJuan McCoy's stations. It seems the smaller owners are just as bad than the mega-ones with the blackouts, but they have to deal with the mega-companies since they have little to no clout to negotiate on a larger scale. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15949-retransmission-consent-squabbles/page/17/#findComment-253877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Vandergast 2 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 A big showdown is brewing between DISH and Nexstar. Both sides are already in full PR campaign mode.

I do wonder if CW is pondering trying to get out of the affiliation deal. Disputes like these affect ratings and Indy is a relatively big market and is not worth keeping the CW affiliation if the owner is having a go with all of the TV providers bar cable Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15949-retransmission-consent-squabbles/page/17/#findComment-253880 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Nexstar took over WISH and they ended up being spun off to DuJuan McCoy when Nexstar traded up to WTTV/WXIN, it's basically a news-intensive independent station. The gravy train may never come and the best option may be to opt for must-carry status to get themselves back on satellite. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15949-retransmission-consent-squabbles/page/17/#findComment-253881 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newsjunkie24 506 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 This is going to be very bad if NexStar channels are all gone on DISH. I know DISH brings up WGN America being minimally-watched. The problem is that they have an identity crisis and the schedule's a complete trainwreck. They should decide whether to be a news channel or be a channel of syndicated reruns. I'm not sure who to blame with this dispute.

DENDude 217 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 The question is this, who stays off longer? Tegna stations on DirecTV/AT&T or Nexstar stations on Dish Network? I'm thinking Dish Network on this, they seem to have a nack for dragging things out.

tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Another "blow" to Sinclair. YouTubeTV is dropping the Tennis Channel. This one hurts really bad, and I"m sure a lot of viewers will be sad over this one. https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/youtube-tv-is-dropping-the-tennis-channel/?fbclid=IwAR3Tuy34Ds3UIGAPpH5_4UOGngdHI2jqFXk1lC-uVFSfLHjPBWOV48NncKs Now with the sarcasm aside, I do wonder what the future holds for Sinclair's affiliates on YouTubeTV. They are one of the few groups that allows a majority of their CW & MyNetworkTV stations to be carried, with very few exceptions. It's only a matter of time before they get into a spat like Nexstar has with their ABC affiliates and Hulu Live.
