Forum Communications Blackouts

[Jw2016]

I wasn't aware that owners of WDAY, WDAZ, KBMY and the CW station up in the Fargo-Moorhead DMA.are no longer available of course due to re-trans dispute. I don't know when this started but the bickering is underway.. Directv has pulled those signals and it's limited to to just to the Fargo, ND - Moorhead, MN DMA. Forum owns just four stations all of which are in the Fargo-Moorhead area.

Yes I lost my local ABC since the station pulled the signal. I have been watching ABC out of Boston & Seattle thanks to my Bell subscription for about a month now.

just signed up with direct and has our install last week, this stinks.....

I wish that when a channel was out, that the satellite company could insert a national feed in its place. I live too far from the broadcast tower to pull in the OTA signal.

It appears that ABC is back here in North Dakota. I noticed it today. Not sure when it came back.
