DirecTV doesn't have the locals in PR. They have Telemundo (WKAQ is an affiliate) and Univision (WLII is an affiliate) available in PR and Dish doesn't.
Dish attempeted to get locals to PR early this year. But the condition was that they had to get all the popular channels in order justify the expense. WAPA, WKAQ, WLII and I think WSTE had to sign on or the whole deal was off. The locals in PR were even going to include channel 8 in St. Thomas.
But the deal fell apart when two or three stations said no to the deal.
The stations complaining in the first message are all low-rated TV stations.
See ya
