My News

I set up 5 days trial of the my news genre pack just now.  It's supposed to be 10 channels of news plus locals only.  But I am seeing way more than 10 channels.  What gives?  And I only see NBC local and Fox.  No CBS or ABC.  It says subscribe.  And upgrade when I click on a show.  I thought all locals were included.  I know not everywhere.  But in Chicago I thought at least ABC was included also.  I thought sports and my news had locals too.  If not 40 is not worth it.

There's an important footnote with the MyNews package:

Local channels aren't available everywhere and may vary by location. You may need to be in your billing region (ZIP Code) to watch them.

For example, in my area (Seattle), only NBC and Fox local stations are available. Not CBS or ABC. 

Click the "See All Genre Pack Channels" on this page:

But ABC is available with the sports pack.  So why not the news.

No idea. What does it say using the link I provided?  What over-the-air stations are included in your zip code?

Thanks for signing up, @KJSS766. MyNews has 11+ news and interest channels, and @litzdog911 is right. However, only 2 locals (Fox & NBC) are included on MyNews, and 3 (Fox, NBC, ABC) are on MySports. DIRECTV continues to assess the channels we offer and appreciates your feedback.

Yes but I don't want both.  I would pay a little extra for abc on the new.  Worth it.  And please add CBS.
