NBC, WTHR, CBS - September Contract Negotiation
Why was NBC dropped from the channel lineup? This is a major network that I watch frequently. I am not happy about this change and don't remember receiving any notification of this change.

It would really be nice if we the customers could get some kind of update. This is ridiculous and now we are heading into 3 weeks.

We want to get CBS back into your local lineup as soon as possible. All Dispatch needs to do is grant its permission. att.com/fightingforyou

Are you kidding me ? The post is from 9/12/17 and it is now 9/22/17 and still no channel 13 WTHR. How is it that AT&T can not make this happen ? Especially right before the fall season kick off ! ! What is being done to rectify this unfortunate situation ?? Greed should not play into a company refusing programming to such a great local station !

Considering the season finale was Sept 21 I don't think you will miss it, at least until next year, assuming it's picked up for another season.
Eventually they will be carried when the greedy locals become more realistic and the cable and the stations agree upon a price. Will you pay for it? You certainly will. So don't be surprised when the "broadcast tv surcharge" (i.e., retransmission) fee goes up in your annual price increases.

When are you going to settle the dispute with the owner of CBS 10TV? The new season is coming up and I'm tired of missing my favorite shows.

It will be settled with CBS 10TV decides to allow DirecTV to broadcast their signal again. Realize that it's the local station ownership holding the cards here, not DirecTV, or any other service providers. Local station owners continually demand more and more money to carry their "free" off-air signals, so companies like Dish, Comcast and DirecTV are constantly being threatened with dropped signals when contracts are renewed. It's a crazy situation. Congress and the FCC need to put a stop to it! So be sure to lean on your local station ownership and tell them to let DirecTV provide their signal again!

I became an AT&T customer when my old provider was having a feud with CBS. I have tv internet home phone and cell phone with you and pay around $400 per month for the past 10 years. If this I can not watch NBC I will find another provider that wants my business.

I live in Indianapolis IN and still no NBC. The "fighting for you" page doesnt provide any updates and I have submitted a request for update there also. Does anyone have any updates as to when the station will return?

Tired of having to spend more money to get TV. We will be canceling. We will not switch to have a dish on our house which friends say they are having the same issue. Such B S to pay this high amount each month and they keep raising their rates and now to block us?
Time to drop AT&T and protest!!! Might as well swap our cells too! We've had AT&T too long and they do not care anymore. Too many customers they grew too fast too big.
