A: The same as always ... never.
I just found out yesterday that locally, DirecTV is not broadcasting ABC. A friend told me that has been the case for over a week. Shows how little I watch anything on the traditional networks.
They’ve already dumped my small market ABC affiliate. AT&T has ruined my directv with lousy customer service and higher rates. And they apparently aren’t interested in doing anything about CNN which they now own along with the cultural sewer HBO.
Didn’t CBS go through this same thing a couple years ago?
ATT charges the networks AND the customers for antiquated “streaming” channels in a world that could provide unlimited channels (urls).
IMO, ATT should be broken up. They own the infrastructure. They have monopoly in each territory they operate. They do not allow 3rd parties to resell access to the cable. And now they own a lot of content. We broke up the old ATT, and we forced the movie industry to divest from theater ownership because it was anti-competitive. These same rationales apply to the new ATT.
ATT should not have been allowed to merge with Comcast. They should be broken into 3 or 4 different companies; one that owns the cable infrastructure and allows competition to lease and resell cable and internet services to customers; one that sells cable and internet to customers; one that owns and distributes content; and one for wifi/cellular/3G-5G etc.
I have Direct Now and go through Roku. It’s cheap but the service sucks. Continually loading every 15 to 20 mins., sometimes more often. Many times, the audio is not aligned with the video and there are no channel numbers and the “last channel” on the remote does not work so you have to page through the damn guide if you want to change channels. They also spread out all the sports channels so if you want to jump from the race to a baseball game, you may have to scroll through 30 channels or more.
What will the newest CBS News Anchor Nora (Trump hater on Steroids) O’Donnell do?
We can only hope...
The Big Four should become The Big No More.

This would be a great improvement!
Who watches CBS?
Small loss.
