Mission Broadcasting channels

Nothing (Edited per community guidelines) me off more than looking forward to a Bruins hockey game only to get that stupid black box you people post telling me Mission "pulled its programming"  from ABC and tough (Edited per community guidelines) for me.  This has been going on for months and I'm about to switch to a provider that doesn't have this nonsense. I pay a heap of money for this service and I expect better. Fix it!!!!!!

I'm not sure what either Mission Broadcasting or ABC has to do with the Boston Bruins.  As best I can tell, those games are carried on NESN.  Where are you located and how are you (trying to) watch those games?

(Also, this is a customer forum - the people here are other customers, same as you, so there is nothing we can do to "fix it", whatever the problem actually is.)

You will not find a provider that doesn't have this "nonsense". All providers go through carraige agreements. When agreement comes up, the channel can choose to leave it on as a sign of good faith or pull it to try and leverage customers to raise costs. Locals (network owned or affiliate owned like Mission) are more often in recent years choosing to pull the feed. And of course when it is during any big sports events it adds that leverage.

Plug in a regular antenna and get the free broadcast. Many of us would rather not cave to higher costs for what we can get free otherwise. Thank Mission for contributing to the ever increasing rates.
