They finally stopped airing the channel this morning. Has someone tried calling and asked if and when they will resolve the issue with the local channel.

How do we get to see the football games that are broadcasted on that channel (Channel 9 CBS or WAFB in BR)?

Go to a store, buy an antenna, plug it into the back of DirecTV box, watch channel 9

Stores are selling out of antennas quickly.

I just went to Radio Shack and bought one.

so what.
they'll get it back in a week or two.
nothing new on it this week. nothing on the weekend but US Open Tennis.
Dolphins-Patriots Sunday, but it's a free NFL sunday ticket weekend.
There is nothing of importance on until 9/11, a thursday night football game and then that weekend's games and then two weeks later when new shows start new seasons

Buy the $15 dollar antenna from Radio Shack and plug it into the back of your TV. It has a circle and the ones shaped like a V. My gf had one and got like 14 OTA channels

just curious, has anyone called DIRECTV to try and get some sort of compensation For them not airing WAFB?

I called today And the best I could get was $10 off next months bill,Plus 3 months of free HBO

The retransmission fee dispute is with Raycom not CBS itself
