Pura Vida Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 WLWT Cincinnati (NBC) & Direct TV have reached an impasse on pricing negotiations and now WLWT is “blacked out” on Direct TV. I’m soooo salty - I wanted to watch football tonight. Dang guys work it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swamprat Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 The channels being mentioned are owned by Hearst Communication and that is who DirecTV has the issue with. Here in Tampa, Hearst owns channel 32 WMOR, an independent station. That channel is now being blocked. The NBC affiliate here, channel 8 WFLA, is owned by Media General. We are having no problems with it and DirecTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Blacking out of a local channel is stupid and yes, I have DirecTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nWo Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 That is one of the reason's we got rid of DirecTV the price keeps going up. We got tired of paying $130 a month. We now use Amazon Firestick and an antenna to get the local channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
