NEXSTAR NBC local affiliate KARK hostage

NEXSTAR NBC local affiliate KARK channel 4 Little Rock is now a hostage and is not in the Directv line up.  Mission broadcastig has been holding my local Fox Channel 16 Little Rock hostage for almost a year now.  These guys need some competition as they have got nothing but fat, fat and fat.

It was Mission's/Nexstar's decision to remove the feed to DTV. The FCC is the only one that can change it.

Nexstar and Mission own their respectful channels. They want higher costs for channels that are free over the regular airways.

Plug in a regular antenna, get whatever channels are in range as a backup option. Might even get sub-channels that aren't carried in the first place.

Personally, I go to pay TV for everything but the local channels. If locals were plenty, I wouldn't have gone to a pay TV provider.

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.

Learn the truth about these exorbitant retransmission fees here ....
