Local station removed over a contract.

On November 30, Directv removed my local CBS station, WBNS, over a contract negotiation.  This is distressing as this is my primary station that I watch.  I hope both sides are negotiating fairly.  I feel like I’m paying a bill and getting no services.

No, your local CBS removed their feed to DTV when they could have left it on.  You are paying DTV to deliver channels by satellite so long as there is one channel you are getting what you pay for.  Read the TOS that states channels and programing are subject to change at anytime.

All satellite, cable and streaming TV providers continue to battle greedy corporations that demand more and more money to deliver FREE off-air channels.

Check out this excellent video explaining why corporate network owners keep demanding more and more money from cable, satellite and streaming providers to deliver FREE off-air TV stations ....

No updates.  But it says go to tvpromise for all updates it's been the same thing all month.  But they want you to subscribe and pay more when they can just put local channels back on the air we are already paying for it.  And new shows you can stream without seeing the charge symbol

It is the content providers that are charging for their programing, DTV only collects it.
