One of the things that makes me and my family stay with Uverse TV is Our local Channels!
I rely on News 9 in bad weather! They have the best local coverage for Oklahoma

Attention AT&T Executives: Please do not pull News 9 off the air. News 9 is the #1 Network in Oklahoma with AT&T subscribers. Enough is enough. #KeepNews9 Attention AT&T Executives: I am a loyal News 9 viewer and an avid CBS and football fan. I do not want to miss my favorite programs or the games. Please keep News 9 on the air! #KeepNews9
I watch this channel more so than any other on Uverse. I will be forced to use another carrier, as Super Bowl 50 is coming up and I WILL NOT be forced to go somewhere other than home to watch it.

Call News 9 and Griffen Communications, and urge them to offer AT&T a fair price for the new contract. Have eveyone you know call News 9 and Griffen Communications to also urge that they offer AT&T a fair price to continue to carry their channel.
There are two parties involved, and it seems that News 9 and Griffen Communications are very greedy.

AT&T is not taking CBS 6 away from you. Blame Griffen Communications, the owner of the channel, who are being greedy and asking AT&T to pay a ridiculous amount to cointinue airing the channel.

I did not know that DirectTV was also involved. Call your CBS channel, in fact have all of your friends call the station to tell them that Griffin Communications should not be so greedy, and ask for a fair price for AT&T to pay in order to continue to show the channel.

AT&T has no control over the format that Channel 6 has. If you want Channel 6 to keep news as their format, call them.

Was Channel 6 planning on moving to a different city?

You are blaming the wrong party. It is Channel 6's owner, Griffin Communications, being greedy, and asking for a ridiculous amount of money to allow U-verse to continue showing their channel. You and all of your friends should call Channel 6 and demand that Griffin Communications give a fair offer to AT&T.

In case someone cares, my family will drop AT & T U-Verse immediately if they drop KWTV in OKC from their channel lineup. We will not switch back to AT & T if KWTV is dropped and then picked back up. We have already dropped AT & T wireless phone service due to very poor customer relations. It may not matter if it's just one family, but individuals add up.

Hello @TulsaRes,
All the members on this forum with the exception of a few employees know the same thing you do about this deal. All you can do is Google it and hope you can come across some information.
Thanks.

Well, realize it's not really AT&T/U-verse that's "dumping" anything. It's the local station ownership that's playing hardball and threatening to drop U-verse if they won't pay more for you to have that station, so be sure to contact them, too. These contract disputes affect all service providers at varying times, not just U-verse, so switching providers won't help you. Ask yourself why U-verse should have to pay anything to provide you with a station you can get over-the-air for free. Crazy situation. And the FCC is finally considering changing the laws so that providers like U-verse can carry an alternative network station when local stations get greedy.
