Local channel no longer being aired.
I'm frustrated that I can no longer watch channel 11, KHOU TV. This is a major network and should be aired.

Tegna and DIRECTV are having issues coming to an agreement as Tegna is supposedly expecting DIRECTV to pay double.

Here we go again ....
Impacted customers should check out this excellent video explaining why corporate network owners keep demanding more and more money from cable, satellite and streaming providers to deliver FREE off-air TV stations ....

Many are frustrated as local channels are popular for them. However saying it "should" be aired is simply personal preference/opinion and not fact.
Nothing obligates the network to provide their channel to DirecTV and then to you. Pay TV is entertainment, not a requirement. What has happened is the carriage agreement came up and the local affiliate owner (Tegna) took their channel away, which is their right.
Once a new agreement is reached the channel would be back. Until then if you cannot live without the channel use a regular antenna. Otherwise you have many other channels to watch in the meantime.

I’m not happy that DirecTV Stream has decided to go up on my bill and at the same time took away my favorite news channel…. I think that’s so wrong!!

They are unrelated 'this' time. Price adjustment is for prior carriage negotiations. This one with Tegna is expected to affect the next price adjustment once a new agreement is hashed out.
As long as local affiliate owners keep raising costs to TV providers then our bills follow suit. Simple economics.

Tegna (Edited per community guidelines)!!! I can believe they are so wealthy & asking for more money again. I am so sick of the fact that they are denying people from watching their favorite channel because of their selfishness once again. Im so sick of this (Edited per community guidelines)!!!
