So glad that Directv can get these things done before they yank channels. Usually anyway. I wish Dish would figure out how to.
Its generally the Station that pulls the channel, not D*, they are just the provider.
In case you guys are wondering where the money is going: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/ma...sinclair-acquisition-20130301,0,2004571.story
Yes, Sinclair is buying the Barrington Broadcasting stations. Quite a few stations in northern Michigan as well, but again for me, they haven't touched any Detroit stations yet.

Whoever owns the local Fox here in Toledo was off the air with the local Cable company for about a month or so earlier this year, Fox was also going off on D* here locally (think it was fox, possibly CBS), fortunately, I have n OTA set up, so if they do get to the locals here or from Detroit, I'm ok.
both CBS and Fox in Toledo are owned by Raycom so if one went both would
That must have been the situation ... Deadline was passed and D* and Raycom extended it and worked out an agreement several weeks later, NO channels were taken down during the dispute.
OTOH, like I mentioned, Fox was taken off the local Cable company earlier and was gone for quite awhile.
