ABC App?  Or DirecTV Stream App?  This is the DirecTV Stream Forum. Perhaps you need to contact Apple support?

Is your local channel 8 owned by Tegna? To be sure you can check to see if your channel is covered by the current situation. https://www.directv.com/tvpromise/ 

If you are using your DirecTV or DIRECTV STREAM credentials, and your owner of your local affiliate station of ABC are in negotiations, then the channel owner will not permit you to watch their content until a new carriage agreement is reached.
