Lost Channels - March 2017

I'm so fed up with U-verse and Raycom in Louisville, Ky for blaming each other blacking out our local channel Wave-3. It all comes down to money and neither one cares about the their customers! But yet U-verse still charges you for the channel! I tried getting Directv, but can't because of the neighbors trees being too tall! So if you don't care about your customers, I will be forced to leave U-verse, which you don't care anyway!

Has AT&T considered other television providers besides Raycom?  In our Northeast Ohio market there is another CBS affiliate besides WOIO from Cleveland.  Have you considered working with the Youngstown CBS affiliate WKBN which is owned by Nexstar Media Group?  If Raycom cannot come to sensible terms, please look for alternatives.

When are we getting channel 29 back?

I'M SICK AND TIRED OF NOT GETTING. NCAA BASKETBALL GAMES ON CBS BECAUSE U GUYS BOUGHT DIRECT TV. HOW MUCH MONEY AM I NOT GOING TO PAY FOR BEING BLOCKED OUT IF THE BIGGEST GAMES IF THE YEAR

why are some att customers receiving a one time $10 credit for the loss of local CBS channel, Raycom, and some receiving as much as $100 per month for a year for the same thing?  Are there any records of these credit discrepancies?

Ah, if only.  Unless the OTA broadcasts from both stations cover the zip code, it would be extremely difficult to convince the FCC to allow this.

Since your talking about a company that took over 5 years to reach a deal with Halmark leaving might not be a bad idea. Call the providers in your area and see what they have to offer. You might be pleasantly surprised. What have you got to lose?

I know of no one receiving any more than a one time bill credit of $10.00 (which is probably generous, assuming that the outage lasts less than a month).  However, others may be taking the opportunity to enter in to a term agreement with a promotional discount.
