DirecTV subscribers could lose Tribune programming
Failed negotiations could mean no more Cubs, White Sox or
"Vampire Diaries"
By Robert Channick Tribune reporter - 6:47 p.m. CDT, March 26,
2012
Tribune Co. television stations in 16 markets across the
country, including WGN in Chicago, are threatening to cut off
programming to millions of DirecTV subscribers after
negotiations over retransmission fees broke down Monday.
The contract is set to expire March 31 and Chicago-based Tribune
Co. is seeking compensation from the satellite TV provider to
carry its programming, something it does not receive. Without
resolution, the plug will be pulled Saturday at midnight.
At stake is everything from Chicago Cubs and White Sox baseball
on WGN America to "The Vampire Diaries" on local CW Network
affiliates. Millions of DirecTV subscribers would no longer
receive 23 local Tribune stations and WGN America, Tribune’s
national cable network.

loved the episode where the vampires descended upon the White
Sox but went away unsatisfied because the offense was so anemic.

Suburban fans, bars caught in dispute between Tribune, DirecTV
By Anna Marie Kukec - Daily Herald - rticle posted: 4/2/2012
7:29 PM
Champps Americana sports bar in Lincolnshire prides itself on
offering major league sports for guests while they enjoy a
burger and a beer. But when customers arrived on Sunday and
Monday, even a cold one didn’t soothe those fans or the bar’s
management.
Bar Manager Mike Runyan discovered that WGN programming, which
included those sought-after sports programs, was pulled from its
provider, DirecTV.
“When DirecTV had negotiation issues in the past with various
channels, we were able to plan ahead and we used Dish Network to
provide the games to our guests,” Runyan said. “But this time,
it was a last-minute issue and we didn’t have Dish. ... This
could get very expensive.”
Despite the one-year contract, Champps, like other sports bars
and individual subscribers, will need to rely on other means to
get those games, including the Chicago Cubs opener and the
Blackhawks’ playoffs, until the dispute is settled between
DirecTV and Chicago-based Tribune Broadcasting Co.
This is the second time in the past six months that DirecTV
subscribers have lost their favorite sports and other
programming because negotiations with content providers have
failed. Besides the Tribune, Comcast Sports Network (CSN), which
carries the Bulls and Blackhawks as well as the Cubs and Sox,
was lost last fall.

[b]For those of you with DirecTV, WGN's first regular season
telecast of the White Sox will be on Saturday night at Texas.[b]
