Here's the response I got from WTNH today:
I don't like the fact that he uses the term "near future" instead of "shortly" or "soon". N'or do I like his suggestion of using an antenna. If an agreement were to be reached soon, I doubt he'd send me off to Best Buy to fork out dough for his channel.
Dear Paul,
Thank you for taking the time to e-mail us. LIN Television, the owner of
WTNH, is currently negotiating with DIRECTv in regards to WTNH's high
definition signal. We are all hoping acceptable carriage terms can be
agreed upon in the near future.
We would like to remind you that via a Best Buy, Circuit City or Bernie's -
you can purchase an antenna for your home and receive our HD signal free.
Perhaps not the option you were hoping to hear - but it is an option that
several viewers are pursuing successfully.
Thank you for your patience regarding this matter and have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Deanna Banas Kluk
Program Manager
