BRING BACK WTNH CHANNEL 8 NEW HAVEN
Bring back WTNH channel 8 New Haven and its sister station channel 59. It's ridiculous for me to have to pay so much money for a lineup that DOES NOT INCLUDE LOCAL NEWS. This is an outrage. I'm in the process of seeking another provider since you've done away with that local station. I have never had a problem with you folks before but this is ridiculous. Please Please Please bring 8 and 59 back!!!! - Fran Mayko - fmayko@aol.com

Your local channel 8 and 59 removed their feed to DTV because DTV will not pay what they are asking to renew the contract.

Educate yourself first. DirecTV did not do away with the channel. The channel's owner Nexstar pulled the feed as they are trying to get DirecTV to cave into much higher costs.
There is no other provider immune from this happening to them. All TV providers go through annoying carriage negotiations, and Nexstar is one of the worst offenders for this happening.
And you've given your email to the entire world, so be prepared for it to be filled with junk mail.

It's the greedy corporations that own local stations (like Nexstar) that pulled your channels. They want more and more and more money to deliver FREE over-the-air stations. It's killing satellite/cable providers as they're forced to pass along those ever-increasing fees.
