Nexstar/Mission/White Knight dispute with DIRECTV

[KyL416]

Unfortunately since they still don't carry Mankato's CW plus subchannel on satellite, it probably won't be included in the next batch of stream additions.

I have to double check, but I think the latest batch in test took care of the rest of the Gray owned CW plus affiliates.
EDIT: Nope there are a bunch of Gray stations that still need to be added.

Hopefully they complete the rollout by this summer and make them available to satellite customers on the app too since in addition to The ACC and WWE NXT this Fall, CW just announced they will have what's left of the Pac-12 Network rights starting on August 31st.

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has reinstated a federal lawsuit filed by DIRECTV against Nexstar Media Group that alleged the broadcaster improperly colluded with two other companies to raise prices associated with the distribution of local TV stations on subscription platforms.

The decision handed down on Tuesday allows DIRECTV to move forward with its case against Nexstar, which alleges the company illegally conspired with White Knight Broadcasting and Mission Broadcasting to charge pay TV customers more for local channels in recent years.
