Loss of channels
AT&T has failed to properly prepare for the anticipated end of contract negotiation with Nexstar - resulting in the loss of ABC station, a MAJOR network. This continues to happen, as in the past, when other channels were removed from the lineup - as your customers continue to pay increased costs in service. We set up another TV(purchased an antennae) that would give us this basic channel for the interim - assuming we will get the channel back at some time in the future! I think it's time to contact other providers who can provide continuing service that we PAY for and don't get with AT&T.

All please be advised this user “baseball is back” is most likely an AT&T employee or compensated contractor. This account has posted numerous messages across multiple threads discussing local channel outages all with the same or very similar content. Check this accounts posting history and it becomes very clear this account as well as many, if not all other, expert accounts are very very likely corporate accounts. Dirty pool AT&T, very dirty pool.

This member is very very likely an AT&T employee, contractor or a bot. Look at this accounts posting history. Dirty pool AT&T.

Directv did not remove anything. Your local affiiate pulled the signal as a "negotiating tactic"(i.e. blackmail)

Channel 8 (KLAS in Las Vegas) is also off the air. Get the negotiations done and reach an agreement. I pay for local channels ... why can't DirecTV provide ALL of them?? I called customer service .. no help at all. No estimated resolution...very disappointed!!

Is there a possibility that WKRN/ABC will be added back soon? It is the channel our family watches the most!

As noted above, your local channel pulled their signal and you are doing exactly what they hope you would do, blaming Directv. Don’t give in to the extortion.

Directv did not drop your local channel, your local channel pulled their signal from Directv and now you are doing exactly what they hoped you would do, blaming Directv. Don’t give in to the extortion.

Unfortunately, nobody here knows when any channel is going to be re-added. It all depends on when the channel owners stop being greedy.

I am a regular subscriber, just like you. AT&T pays me no money. On occasion, the forum ACEs receive gifts of minimal value in exchange for helping other users on this peer-to-peer forum.
There are maybe 2-3 AT&T employees that post here. Their posts are all marked as being those of employees.

The channel owner wants more money. Per news reports, AT&T offered more money, but the channel owner refused the offer.
