TEGNA FORCES YET ANOTHER BLACKOUT ON DIRECTV, DIRECTV STREAM AND U-VERSE CUSTOMERS
TEGNA, one of the nation’s largest local broadcast station groups has yet again denied DIRECTV permission to offer its 66 stations in 52 metro regions to DIRECTV, DIRECTV STREAM and U-verse customers. This comes after months of negotiations and TEGNA rejecting an offer from DIRECTV to extend through the rest of the college and NFL football seasons to not disrupt viewers while the two sides finalize a renewal.

Nothing new they did it 3 years ago and I'm sure Nextstar will do the same when their contract comes up.

Unfortunately, that is the way the market has become. Station owners like Tegna will often suspend cable, satellite, or streaming customers’ access for a brief period to try to obtain higher guaranteed rates for themselves. Please check TVPromise.com for updates. Jairo, DIRECTV Community Specialist
