Does anyone know why CBS in not included in the Traverse City locals? I emailed the local CBS station a couple of days ago but haven't gotten a response.

CBS did the same thing when Dish Network added locals a year ago up here.I think it took about 6 months for them to finally get turned on.I would say they probably want more money.

I got the following response from our CBS affiliate. Any ideas?

> 9&10 News and Dish Network entered into a contract in May of 2004 that
> requires all future satellite systems to operate under the same
> compensation package as Dish Network.
> As of this time DirecTV is unwilling to honor this deal.
> 9&10 News is legally precluded from being on DirecTV unless DirecTV
> honors this contract.
> 9&10 News is ready to be a part of DirecTV as soon as DirecTV complies
> with this contract.
