Small Town Re-transmission Dispute

[Phil T]

Grand Junction stations and the cable company are having trouble coming to an agreement. GJ stations are on Dish Network SD only but not on DirecTV. It might be a good time for DirecTV to pick them up, but I have seen nothing indicating they will.

Tell it to Congress. See Project Vote Smart (http://www.votesmart.org/) and tell them how corporate greed is preventing you from getting the channels you want. Also, tell them that the laws regarding distant network stations is preventing you from seeking a distant alternative.

The very fact thay they are having trouble coming to a carriage agreement with the cable company does not bode well for a DirecTV pickup. Local channels across the United States have decided that cable and satellite service is a chicken full of revenue that is waiting to be plucked. It's getting out of control.
