Ch 8/Nexstar About to Get Bombarded with Callers
We are 3 days away from the Lions kickoff on NBC and all DirecTV customers are still without Nexstar owned WOOD TV. Their game of chicken they're playing with DirecTV over a new agreement is about to get ugly with football fans. Think about it, first the first time in forever the Lions are on Nat'l TV to open the season and thousands can't see it as we sit here today. Good luck with the phone calls this week WOOD.

I think it's also on Peacock, so there is an option for those with Smart TVs/devices.

I Imagine Charter spectrum has been getting bombarded with calls by angry sports fans and parents, Cause EVERY ESPN and disney network is GONE from spectrum.

I miss the days where Hulu and Netflix were the only mass streaming apps and On Demand library content at Xfinity was plentiful for no extra fee.
Thanks to so many networks having their own branded streaming apps, On Demand has been pillaged.

Spectrum is right to drop Disney. Should Spectrum be believed, they were agreeing to the premium increase in exchange for free subscriber access to the Disney+/hulu/espn+ ad supported bundle. Of course Disney only wanted to offer Spectrum subscribers a discount.
DirecTV has shrunk from the expanded broadband access making streaming cheaper for many, with less regional sports. WXMI was off Dish for an extended time in the past.

All I see is a greedy satellite provider versus a greedy media provider. A pox on both your houses.

The thing is both sides expect viewers to pick a side, when in reality there's nothing much we can do but sit back and watch while both sides argue and/or negotiate.Jason Kragt wrote: ↑Tue Sep 05, 2023 3:39 pmAll I see is a greedy satellite provider versus a greedy media provider.

Time to bust out the antenna… At least it’ll be better picture quality!

It looks like a permanent, multi-year deal was reached yesterday.
Re: Ch 8/Nexstar About to Get Bombarded with Callers
Apparently they got 5 calls, from the same guy...wonder who that was.

DirecTV customers have higher bills to look forward to.

Agreed! These annual pissing contests you see with greedy TV stations and even greedier cable/satellite companies are as tiresome as they are predictable. I rely on my good old-fashioned roof-top antenna for all my TV channels: always FREE and never threatens to withold programming!teetoppz28 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2023 6:17 pmTime to bust out the antenna… At least it’ll be better picture quality!

We use an HDHomeRun box to stream the antenna channels over our WiFi as well. We got sick of paying crazy fees for YoutubeTV. We couldn't be happier!DJ-MichaelAngelo wrote: ↑Tue Oct 17, 2023 10:59 pmAgreed!
