another dispute (RESOLVED) (Nexstar Broadcasting)

[TNGTony]

Oh, I also forgot to include that there also used to be rules limiting the number of prime time hours any network could demand from affiliates in order to encourage local programming. This failed miserably. Networks used to have prime-time programming from 7-11 EST. The networks stopped programming the 7-8pm hour (except Sunday, the highest ratings day). The result was the crap we see now, game shows and gossip shows.

So what's the latest with these Jamokes. Their website still has the old garbage that Dish customers may lose the channels - on December 5th....... I did an internet search didn't see anything updating it.

Well, if you try to go to www.keepcbs.com, you get a 404 not found error so CBS took that website down.

I still have my Nexstar channel on Dish. KQTV in St. Joseph.

This is the Nextstar thread. I would hope I know how CBS turned out!

Thanks... That's new today I just saw it too.

 

[JTBenson]

Is anyone seeing a crawl on their Nexstar channel? Ours is not saying anything. Makes me think that there is a good chance for another extension or agreement before the night is over.

Net Star has reached an agreement with Dish network, all is well for a few more years.

Nexstar.

 

[JTBenson]

Couldn't find anything on the internet about an agreement. Do you have a link? (Or did Net Star reach an agreement and not Nexstar?)

 

[JTBenson]

Never mind, just happened in last hour:

OK, another (semi) big dispute diverted without much sweat.

 

[Tampa8]

Very disappointed. Was looking forward to few more "I'm leaving" posts.

 

[KAB]

Too small of markets to make many waves, and probably why it was settled easily.

 

[Bill Millar]

Nexstar.

Oops sorry, I hit the wrong key........meant NexStar.

There's still Turner........... that could make waves.

Not small markets there, nationwide, yes?
