Channel 5

When will channel 5 be back?

it has been out a looooong time & many of our favorite shows are on this channel.

this negotiation seems to be taking a very long time. Why?

It will be back when Tegna, the corporation that owns Ch 5, allows DirecTV to carry it again. These contract disputes have gotten out of hand as the corporations that own local stations demand more and more for "rebroadcast fees" to deliver FREE over-the-air TV stations.
