DirecTV and UVerse lost the Tegna owned stations tonight.  This is the SAME crap we just went through with Nextstar and them.  Tegna wants to charge more, DirecTV thinks its too much, neither side can agree so they both act like little babies and point the finger at each other but in the mean time, the stations get pulled. In the end (however long that may be), DirecTV will agree to pay more then they want to pay to Tegna, we will get the stations back, and if you dont have a contract, your bill will go up.  Its all a load of crap if you ask me and both companies are greedy as (Edited per community guidelines).  Hope they both lose customers and advertisers.  I plan to call DirecTV tomorrow morning and ask how much credit they will be giving me for the loss of this channel.  I signed a contract with them and now I'm missing a channel.  Seems like breach of contract to me.

@Juniper They can certainly say that but the bottom line is I signed a contract. I’ve used that method to get out of contracts with them and other companies before and they have never fought me. They simply let me walk away and not pay any fees. Will I do that in this case?  No. I can get the station I lost over my antenna.

But this shit is getting old. Especially when the bottom line is DTV will end up paying more than they want to and then pass  it on to their customers. Just skip alll this crap and get to that point already. We JUST went through this shit with Nexstar. They know what deal they ended up making with Nexstar. Just make the same basic deal (adjusted because TEGNA has way less stations) and move on. 

I also thought TEGNA was bought by another company and as part of that deal The Texas TEGNA stations were sold or taken over by Cox. Did that not go though?  Because if it did the Texas stations shouldn’t be included in this. 

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 ....

I am now stuck paying Peacock to get access to NBC network programming.  I do not have an antenna nor do I want want, and I certainly am not getting into installing it on my house.  That is why I PAY Directv.  Seems to me = they should cover my Peacock streaming.

To some extent, they will pay for it.  Go to tvpromise.com.   Directv will give you a $10 discount for your inconvenience for losing NBC.  Peacock, including your local NBC affiliate, is $3.99 if purchased through Directv Steam.   So, you can use the discount of $10 to cover at least 2 months.

Jal123 - thanks for the tip.  I was buying it through Amazon prime as I did not know I could do it this way.  As soon as this month is up - I will buy through directv stream.  Hope they keep this price throughout out this very inconvenient issue.
