World Series albany ny Fox channel 23?

AFAIK if a local channel has the right to it then all other channels are blacked out, it maybe on in sports bar or other places.

Here is what is on Fox Albany NY website:

WXXA and DirecTV have a contract that allows them to carry our programming to you.  That contract has expired and DirecTV removed WXXA from your schedule. WXXA has presented a proposal for fair value, based on the importance and value our programming brings to our viewers.  Despite our tireless efforts, DirecTV has refused our fair offer and is making negotiations very difficult.  You might have seen them do this before. They will tell you it’s for your benefit, but don’t believe it.  Our offer is fair.  And now they hold you the subscriber hostage.  It’s not right.

I have been a DirecTV subscriber since 1999.  This is the first time I have been put in this position of being unable to watch a major sporting event because of a contract dispute.  I have no recourse with Fox.  I certainly have alternatives to DirecTV to explore.  Very frustrating. 

So it is a contract dispute and it was WXXA that removed their feed to DTV as they are the only ones that can do it.  Of course their asking price is fair to them but DTV has to pass the increase onto their customers so they try to reduce the amount of any increase.  Bottom line until WXXA returns the feed to DTV there will be no games or anything else.  All TV providers have the same problem as DTV when their contracts come up with the local channels.

So DirecTV doesn't want to pay for something that is free, but is OK charging me extra for local channels.  Bottom line, I still can't watch the World Series.

It's not "free" to DirecTV. Local stations owners make boatloads of $$$ from cable/satellite/streaming providers to deliver their signals, even though those signals are indeed free to watch with an off-air antenna. It's extortion. And it's one of the main reasons that rates continue to increase.

It seems to me DirecTV could have pointed me to a national Fox station or an MLB channel or even allowed me to sign up for another local channel.  Just wanted to mollify my complaint and send me $10.00.  I missed a great game.  DirecTV response "TS"

Direct TV - when is this going to be resolved?  It has been over (1) month !! - Missed World Series - you suggested streaming - WXXA does not stream - you suggested Fox Sports App - the App asks for location and once active, the App is blocked by WXXA.  The $10 offered is "inferior" due to the missed programming and now my NY Giants.  I have been a loyal DirectTV/Primestar customer since 1996 and do not feel the loyalty is being returned.  We now have high-speed internet so I do have pay streaming options and may be forced to consider switching to resolve this issue 

DirecTV did direct me to a very alternative way to watch the world series.  I watched on the Spanish language station.  I had my Alexa play Mozart symphonies and muted the sound.  Occasionally turning on the sound to understand some odd play or scoring.

Reading these posts from TWO years ago, I am even more discouraged. It is 2024, and Dtv and Fox still have not agreed on giving us access to sports post season and championship games. Once again, we can't get the World Series b/c Fox has the contract. Last year, I paid $100 for a month to get it on streaming; now, Fubo does not allow me to get Fox Sports -- I guess b/c my provider is Directv. I was told when I signed up for Fubo that if Fox was on any other provider and/or locally they would be able to give us access, but this year that's not happening. My budget is not set up to pay for streaming services on top of Directv. Same stor for the Cowboys games and probably the Super Bowl (?) We are retired and t.v. is our main source of keeping in touch and having entertainment. I'm completely disgusted!
