When are you going to resolve the problem with TEGNA?

When are you going to resolve the problem with TEGNA?  It's disrupting my service in watching WFSS (channel 8 - ABC) in my area.  Customers should not have to deal with the petty problems between Uverse and TEGNA.  Work it out or lose a long time subscriber.

I have real world problems trying to pay bills. Get my kids to school buy groceries. But losing one channel to sit on my fat (Edited per community guidelines) is not one of them. Get a life go outside. Buy an antenna people feel so entitled these days.

Depends on where you live on how often it is reasonable to go elsewhere and be outside. However, the current situation shouldn't make one locked to their home permanently. And some of us don't have the option to lay around at home. We have things that must be done and job requirements.

But even if you were locked in your house, it still comes down to 1 or 2 channels that are pulled and only temporarily.

Getting fed up with not being able to get local NBC programs because you are in dispute with Tegna. I feel this is a breach of our contract and that if you don’t settle the issue(s) with Tegna you need to let me out of my contract so that I can find a provider that has all the channels I pay for available.

Tegna has announced on Twitter that they have reached a new carriage agreement with AT&T. The Tweet specifically says carriage for U-verse and DirecTV - ATT TV isn’t specifically mentioned, but I would have to think a new carriage deal would include ATT TV

Hopefully, those who have been missing their Locals the last few weeks (owned by Tegna) will have them restored shortly

Agreed.  And the sad part is that I didn't really miss my local (Tegna owned) ABC station.

Skeeter, Earlier this morning, I posted the information at the end of the huge "Tegna" post when I saw the information on Twitter. At least the length of this contractural dispute was not as long as some of these disputes have been with local channel owners in the past.

Owning a computer and not having the internet is like buying a refrigerator and not stocking it with food.

I had a feeling last night that it would be resolved in time for the Super Bowl...plus, we get back in time for Alex Trebek's last Jeopardy, the New Years celebrations, Christmas services, etc.

Oh and if people left U-Verse for what they assumed to be greener pastures...

Hopefully they have all your sports teams.

Good luck coming back to U-Verse when you realize that $50/mo package is missing stuff.

Well, after several weeks of this saga ATT finally decided to give us a Christmas present and honor their implied contract with their customers. Must have finished negotiating other more important deals and found time to handle this one for us little people. 

Google and Facebook are under congressional fire, ATT next up? Hope so.

To all the ATT apologists, nice try but 0/10 for honesty. Spare me the "contract" disclaimers and try good faith and corporate character for once. 

Bye

I have been blocked from a major network for almost a month supposedly over money.  I have had enough of this. DirectV and Tegna need to resolve this issue immediately or refund my money.  How can we stop this new w?

Read the fine print again, @cfrost7777 .

Nowhere in that contract are channels guaranteed.

If you think your channel is guaranteed, I suggest contacting a lawyer and suing them for breach of contract. Let us know how your (Edited per community guidelines) goes.

I'll be bowing out of your class-action.

Where are you located?  It's not NBC....it's your LOCAL NBC affiliate.

Wow are you late to reality. It is not DirecTV needing to "let" them back in.

Tegna is the owner of your local NBC affiliate. They pulled all their channels to leverage us customers as part of negotiating the next carriage agreement. Only they had the control to pull the feed or return it. Canceling service will not save you as all providers go through this. Look at Dish and Nexstar right now for example.

But regardless this is old news. An agreement was already settled within the last day so those channels are starting to come back on.

Research is your friend more so than baseless assumptions.

I expect to be compensated for the many weeks that Direct TV did not broadcast CBS.

If not I will drop ATT and go to Youtube TV for a better price.

They did offer a $20 bill credit. You needed to log into your account to get it. If you didn’t do that, it’s probably gone now.
