Hello, we understand this situation is frustrating. We remain at the negotiation table trying to protect you from unwarranted price increases, while Nexstar continues to hold your local news and sports hostage to secure double the rates. Please visit TVPromise.com to stay up to date.

If only the government would get involved. Several years ago the FCC and Congress were considering changing rules to allow providers like DirecTV to carry a distant channel when local channel owners pulled these greedy money-grabbing negotiation tactics. But nothing happened. So the greedy corporations that own your local stations have all the negotiation power. They can pull their signals whenever they want to demand more of our subscriber $$$. Something needs to change. It's killing the satellite/cable market.

Tell that to Nexstar. They are the ones demanding higher rates. DirecTV either gives in to the demand and raises bills that much more or they stand firm to get a more reasonable rate (ideally same or lower, but realistically networks always get some sort of increase). Which would you prefer?
Nothing entitles you to those channels. Since TV providers do not own them, they all have a clause that channels/programming are subject to change. What is suggested is to use a regular antenna to get the free broadcast.
