Fox and ABC Locals in Columbus Ohio

[retro187]

I was flipping through my locals on E* tonight and noticed this screen on the ABC and the Fox channels here in Columbus OH stating "Sorry for the interruption. There is no need to call us. We are aware that this TV station is temporarily unavailable and we will have this channel back as quickly as possible." These are both stations owned by Sinclair Broadcasting. Any idea if this is a technical issue or saber rattling between Charlie and Sinclair. I have attached a screen shot of the screen that is seen on both channels

Which channels are you referring to, sd via Dish, HD via Dish or HD via OTA? That does not look like a Dish Network slate, they usually have a the Dish Network logo in the background.
