When will I get my missing local channels 8 and 23 back?

But the response from the broadcasting company is that it is att/directtv trying to get the channel for free or almost nothing. The owners quote to me was "I'm just trying to get my fair shake". It is both fault, att/directtv for not negotiating quickly and the broadcasting company for most likely being to greedy. I know the broadcasting company is the one with the power to give it back but it is both sides not coming to an agreement to allow this to happen

Which is why I'm emailing them daily too. I will continue to email or message both until it is fixed.

I'm not trying to be a go between I'm making my frustrations known and will continue to do so. I understand how negotiations work and I understand the broadcasting company has the power to put the channel back on. Also as far as using an antenna to get these channels, that is not an option for me in my area, signal is terrible and nothing comes in. The point to posting this is to show everyone on both sides that each side is putting the blame solely on the other party and getting people to take sides while it is actually both sides fault and they are hurting the customers who like myself are still paying for channels I cant use.

The owner of the channels is adamant that ATT is trying to get the channels for free and even did an interview that was aired on channel 23 which I cant get so I viewed it in fb, claiming this. I have actually been able to get the owner to respond to emails and he is still claiming that he wouldn't go public and lie about them wanting it for free as that would be liable and unethical and he could be sued. I dont really think either party is going to give the honest truth. Thank you for your response. Bottom line is we the customers are the ones paying for this crap and these companies need to realize that if we ever all banded together and quite paying for their products they would be screwed so they really need to get this figured out.
