Tegna is back on the rocks with DirecTV, signaling to viewers Saturday that its stations could soon be pulled off the programming grids of the pay TV operator's platforms amid failing broadcast retransmission licensing negotiations.
The broadcaster, which owns 64 network affiliates in 14 markets, told viewers with DirecTV satellite, DirecTV Stream and U-verse TV subscriptions that they could "lose" Tegna stations starting November 30 without DirecTV agreeing to “fair, market-based” terms on broadcast retransmission licensing.
