Tegna (Gannett) stations to possibly be dropped TONIGHT

[harmlesslyfatal]

Soo, did the feed go down or did they work it out ?

I haven't heard or seen anything since the 24 hour extension. :/

Good deal. Saw the message while watching the CMA Country Christmas.

Darn I was hoping it wouldn't go through- So I could read about all the dreams that where dashed

This is a great example of how messed up the buisness is, and the customer is at the mercy of these big companies.

October: "Dish has dropped (insert station here) switch to your local cable provider or Directv"

December: "Directv has dropped (insert station here) switch to your local cable provider or Dish"

I know this situation didn't play out like that, but come on! When is enough of these situations enough?

 

[Mr Tony]

I agree. Sad part is there are people who will do just that (switch providers)

Except it's very rare for D* to drop a station.

You will always have the crawls because it is used as a negotiating ploy ... gets subs in an uproar.

In Turn you're paying for it though.
Directv's rates are way to high.

When you compare them to all the other providers, they are in the ball park.
We'd all like to get the same programming for half the price, but thats Not gonna happen.
