BRING BACK WTNH CHANNEL 8 NEW HAVEN

Bring back WTNH channel 8 New Haven and its sister station channel 59. It's ridiculous for me to have to pay so much money for a lineup that DOES NOT INCLUDE LOCAL NEWS. This is an outrage. I'm in the process of seeking another provider since you've done away with that local station. I have never had a problem with you folks before but this is ridiculous. Please Please Please bring 8 and 59 back!!!! - Fran Mayko - fmayko@aol.com

Your local channel 8 and 59 removed their feed to DTV because DTV will not pay what they are asking to renew the contract.

It's the greedy corporations that own local stations (like Nexstar) that pulled your channels. They want more and more and more money to deliver FREE over-the-air stations. It's killing satellite/cable providers as they're forced to pass along those ever-increasing fees.
