There's an ABC/NBC duopoly owned by Gannett in Jacksonville, FL, WTLV 12 and WJXX 25. If a deal isn't reached, Dish subs in that market are losing two of the big four networks.
Two years strong with Dish, with NO calls to tech support, and two years strong with Satelliteguys!

Reuters has a terrible article out there that in the first paragraph attempts to indicate the issue is all about auto-hop. Yet the quotes from both parties do nothing to indicate any contract issue related auto-hop. Instead it seems to be completely about money.

Have this potentially annoying issue here too. First message popped up tonight. This will cause CBS shows and local broadcasting to disappear for the Fredericksburg, Va/Washington D.C. Area. I am so tired of this crap. I just renewed for two years for the Hoppers too. I wonder what it would cost me to cancel at about 90 days in to the contract?

"Thus far, Dish has refused to reach a fair, market-based deal with us" is a quote from the Gannett group - of course this is the same group that thinks that access to one of their local newspaper sites is worth $10/month... I somehow doubt that they even know the meaning of the word fair.

Not exactly sure about the current ETF rate, but at least $12.00 per month left on 24. But, my advice, keep your hand on your knee and be patient.

These local OTA stations should get paid ZERO for carriage. Fork 'em. They make their money from advertising.
ADVERTISING BOX
All the carriers should just say no. Let's see how fast they come crawling back when their ad rates take a dive due to lower viewership, and especially when their network overlords feel the pinch.FYI:
-It's "couldn't care less", not "could care less".
-It's "would've", "should've", and "could've", not "would of", "should of", and "could of".
-It's "voila!", not "walla!" (That's right. You've been speaking French all this time.)
-The first word in each sentence should be capitalized.
-A period goes at the end of each sentence.
-Commas are also a good idea, on occasion.
