Channel Availability

Good afternoon,

Please tell me if the Directv includes the basic broadcast channels: Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC. I am not inquiring about CNBC, CBS Sports or other specialized channels.

Thank you

Joseph

That depends largely on where you live, and what service you order. There are locations where DIRECTV won't have a retransmission agreement with the owner of one or more local stations.  There are a few out of the way places that might not have all the networks.

The "Signature packages" include local stations, which normally give you the network affiliates you're looking for.  If you chose the Genre Pack route, I don't think those include local stations.

@JefferMC is right, @Nppb333. DIRECTV offers local channels which vary by market and package. Check out DIRECTV Channel Lineup - Local, RSN & National Networks for local channel availability in your area.

DirecTV includes local channels.

Depends on where you live on which local channels DirecTV has.

https://www.directv.com/channel-lineup/ 

Make sure to put in your zip code for it to show the correct locals.

You can toggle from A-Z to CATEGORY and on the right click the up/down arrow to close the first category to quickly find the section for LOCAL CHANNELS.

Hope that helps.
