1:06 AM CDT, so far, the DFW CBS O&Os KTVT and KTXA are still on as is CBS Sports Network, giving AT&T a hour before deciding if dispute has been either resolved or given a extended deadline.
 
Seeing on Twitter people in Florida without CBS on DirecTV at 2am ET

I lost CBS Sports Network at 2:11am

I lost WCBS in NYC at 2:13am

CBS Sports tweeted DirecTV "dropped it"
 
DFW CBS O&Os still on right now, and CBS Sports Network is gone. yep, see you this fall CBS when you finally blink.
 
DFW CBS O&Os still are on for now, but they will be gone by 6 AM for sure.


however, the other markets with CBS O&Os are reporting them as gone now
 
DFW CBS O&Os are gone now. replaced with the dispute slate.

i guess one of the two parties involved walked out on negotiations in anger.

meanwhile, we DirecTV customers suffer from this.

there are options. get the LCC/AM21/hook up antenna for OTA signals, watch via locast app or locast site, sign up for CBS All Access and get the free trial or watch the shows vis CBS or CW's sites. also wait a few weeks before making that switch providers decision (unless you are already planning on it and found your camel's back breaking straw out of this.)

and also, you could try to send a message or call your local congressman or senator and the FCC about them trying to change the laws to where these retransmission disputes are stopped dead and make the locals be aired under must carry rules or make distance stations be able to broadcast in markers where a dispute is happening at.
 
Detroit CW 50 and CBS 62 are down.

Woo Hoo!

Gonna sell a lot of Comcast this week!!!

Can’t believe you would do that to your customer, go from the good / almost great DirecTV picture to the overly compressed / starved bitrate / converted from 1080i to 720P back to whatever your box is set at.

I am in the Chicago viewing area and Directv just cut our CBS access. I have been searching alternatives and will be discontinuing Directv very soon.
 
1) You're assuming Paul cares about sports

and

2) FSN Chicago ceased operations 15 years ago. All major sports are on NBCSN Chicago.
Wasn’t about sports but good job assuming

Point was blackouts aren’t exclusive to Directv
 
Considering FSN is a series of sports channels, how exactly is your comment not about sports?

And good job assuming to you as well, for assuming Chicago has an FSN affiliate.

Ok. Fine. Dish has HBO blacked out also. Is this only about movies now?
