4K channel question

If a program is airing on one of the 4k channels, why is itthat I can't watch it on that channel? I try to tune into the program and get redirected to an alternative channel airing the same program,

What streaming device?

Do you have a 4K HDTV?  How is it connected?  Set for 4K?

Directv app on the firestick and the Gemini box. No issues with watching other programming airing on the 4k channels. It's only when it's a sports program that again according to the guide is on the 4k channels but also happens to be airing on another network at the same time, such as tbs/into.

I have a 4k TV

That happens when it is a sporting event 4K programing is being broadcast for a specific market's local sports network. When it directs you to another channel, it is usually a broadcast of the same event designated for a national broadcast. 

Example:
The Bruins game is in 4K being sent to customers customers who receive NESN, and you get sent to say TBS where the same game is being broadcast nationally, for anyone who has TBS in their subscrip[tion package.
