DIRECTV and DIRECTV STREAM May Lose More ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC Locals Amid Standoff With Cox Media | Cord Cutters News (https://cordcuttersnews.com/directv-and-directv-stream-may-lose-more-abc-cbs-fox-nbc-locals-amid-standoff-with-cox-media/)

Very irritating. I hope they fix this.

[manaboutown]

I hadn't noticed.

[thelegges]

Just use U-tube TV and have Amazon Prime.

I do not see any new show episodes on ABC until next week.

FYI It is ABC TV 9 Orlando that did not renew with DTV. DTV is still broadcasting local ABC in its other nationwide affiliates. Give it a few days.

YouTube TV is not immune from this.

Networks negotiate with every provider that wants to carry them. Usually, things go well and the customer doesn't notice or the negotiations lead to higher prices and the customer's bill goes up.

Sometimes, the negotiations don't go well. More than once my provider (cable or satellite) has warned me that the network was threatening to stop service and suggested I call the network to complain. Occasionally (though it seems more often now) negotiations fail and the network is no longer available. My father has been without some local networks on Dishnet for a while now.

This can happen to any provider, cable, satellite, or streaming.

[bobeaston]

Don't worry about it. Those negotiations are a frequent and common part of the cable TV industry. They always get resolved with one side or the other getting more money ... and the resolution is passed on to customers as a rate increase.

The articles about losing this channel or that channel are all "scare" journalism, designed to get clicks into the site that writes them ... clickbait, leading to their advertising.

As we say up north, "Don worry bout it, nuttin to see here."

Can get most shows on channel 20. This is a Gainesville channel.

[jedalton]

Switch to the fire stick with my streaming service and avoid all that. Contact me and I'll show you how easy it is.

[NotGolfer]

We've had DirecTv for years. We found that Channel 20 on it offers ABC They (DirecTv) will eventually shoot themselves in the leg and will lose many more customers than they already have. We've not yet cut the cord but time will tell.

[airstreamingypsy]

Just get Hulu, all the ABC shows on the next day.

[jprudente]

I get it just fine on my indoor antenna. No internet required.

[Jameson]

I would hope Orlando stations eventually build a tower up this way to serve the area better. Being able to get over the air broadcasts is hit and miss but probably mostly miss in this area. Towns around TV are growing so maybe it will make sense for the investment in the future.

[PurePeach]

YouTubeTV is a streaming service for you TV and Amazon Prime offers movies, documentaries, series, etc for TV as it, too, is a streaming service. Prime TV is included with your Prime membership. You'll have to subscribe to YouTubeTV. You need to download both apps onto your TV to access.

That was also blacked out the last I looked.

[Laraine]

Usually things are negotiated quickly, however Cox Broadcasting, which is ABC Orlando channel 9, and a few other channels, has been out for over a year on Dish Network. The NBC channel was out for a week or so, before they came to an agreement.

[mpalazzola]

Antennas still work. Spending money to get free over-the-air TV seems even more crazy if they can't deliver the product.

Fat Chance! DISH has been "negotiating" with Cox for over 14 months!! (I could have negotiated a Mideast peace treaty in 14 months) So all DISH customers have been without ABC since Dec. 1, 2022 and every month since then I phone them and get a "one time" $5 "courtesy credit" and/or a month or two or three of STARZ, ENCORE, or SHOWTIME for free.

[Taltarzac725]

The ABC channel from Gainesville is up on DirectTV.

Caught The View ladies talking about the Grammys. I watched a little of the Grammys last night.

If it sounds too good to be true, it's probably pirating. Of course, it's only illegal if you get caught, right?

[jedalton]

Ignorance is no excuse

[Camranhvet]

That was also blacked out the last I looked.

Channel 20 is ABC out of Gainesville and is NOT blacked out. There are a few shows such as Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune which are not on 20. Most of the major shows are. The only thing I miss is Channel 200 is not High Definition.

That’s a little high the service I’ve been pushing $150 annual or $20 mo monthly. Program 3 sticks $40 no trip charge.

We have voice control on all of our TVs. Sadly don’t even have to think

[Taltarzac725]

It is up today which is nice. I do like some ABC shows.
