Weird thing here. I DVR'd the Flash tonight at 8pm PST on KTLA, there is a scroll going on about how the channel will likely be removed at 6 pm PST tonight.

Only 26 minutes til it's either extended again or they go black.......it looks to have been extended again[unless by some chance they have a new deal].

I assume there is a new contract between AT&T and the Tribune Company. The two Tribune channels in St. Louis are still on as well as WGN America. I have not seen any announcement stating there is an agreement or there has been an extension of talks.
As far as WGN America, I could care less if I could not watch it. I am very unhappy that the Tribune Company made a decision to allow only regular WGN in Chicago to show Cubs and White Sox games.

This from Wikipedia about their Cubs/White Sox situation:
As a side effect of Tribune's conversion of WGN America into a general entertainment cable channel, the network phased out its carriage of WGN-TV's sports telecasts, with Tribune president/CEO Peter Liguori citing limited viewership and advertising revenue generated from the sports broadcasts relative to its expense (the Cubs package cost five times as much for rights fees alone as the revenue it brought in).[45]
Guess they wanted to stop being a non-profit.

I just got off the phone with U-verse Customer Service, and the representative said there is not yet a signed contract between AT&T and the Tribune Company. She also said that at this time, unlike past dates and times, she knows of no definite date or time for a deadline.

Our local Tribune FOX station ( WXIN FOX 59) has a crawl with a 5PM ET deadline for today. T-Minus 22 minutes. The crawl mentions "final warning."
EDIT: Still on at 5:05 PM ET.

I saw on WGN that they're threatening to black it out at 2pm tomorrow if no new deal[or another extension]is reached.
