Mission Broadcasting

Need to get the dispute with Mission Broadcasting settled, the longer it drags on the more reason for me to find a different tv provider

It should be settled soon, DIRECTV claims they will pay whatever extra retransmission fees Mission Broadcasting has agreed on. And, do be aware, this also happened to cable provider Verizon FIOS so don’t think you can ‘escape’ by getting a different TV provider. Every cable, satellite, and streaming live TV provider has disputes from time to time.

And now you know one of the main reasons that subscription prices keep rising.

The ABC affiliate in Burlington, VT WVNY 22 is one of the stations blackout by this dispute.  Fortunately I can get ABC sports programming via ESPN+ as well as stream the ABC network programming like Grey's Anatomy.   So it makes me wonder why do I need DirecTV?

This is beyond ridiculous and the customers are paying dearly for this nonsense.  

when will the two sides start acting like responsible professionals and cut this crap out?

This post is 8 months old and it was settled around then and it will continue so long as the channels demand more money for their programs.
