KCCI DES MOINES, IOWA is not going to show the president this evening. They are streaming it. Unacceptable. Another reason to stop watching KCCI. Big Brother is NOT important at this time.

The president is planning to address the nation and you are only streaming it?

Unacceptable!

Main steam media has fallen and can no longer be trusted.

What about those who ONLY have local TV?

Shamful.

User's recommendation: KCCI and the media are not to be trusted. Proven by their actions today.

Kimmel

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Do not broadcast Kimmel; he's not funny, and he's a liar. He spews his hate and rhetoric, and it's causing discourse in America.

Preferred solution: Kimmel off the air

Blackout of NBC Channel on Dish

AI Highlights
  • - NBC is unavailable on Dish; the customer wants it back.
  • - They've missed weeks of The Voice and reruns aren't shown.

When will NBC be back on Dish. Its been long enough.

Ive missed weeks of seeing the new season of the voice. I dont want to miss the whole season. Not happy at all one of the main shows I watch on NBC.

Resolve issue with Dish weve waited long enough. You dont show reruns of this show so Ive missed all the shows that have been on this far.

Dispute between WBAL TV and Directv Channel 11 Baltimore, MD

AI Highlights
  • - Directv may drop WBAL Channel 11 after 3 p.m. today, with extension to tomorrow; This Is Us returns Jan 14, 2020, and quick resolution is sought.

I live in Baltimore, MD and while watching tv last night, it appeared on a scroll that Directv will no longer be broadcasting Channel 11 after 3 p.m. today.

I contacted WBAL tv channel 11 and was told that the agreement has been extended until tomorrow I was not given a time. This is my first time seeing this announcement how long it has been running I do not know. I am a huge fan of the show "This is Us" which airs on local station WBAL tv Channel 11 in Baltimore, MD. The show is scheduled to come back from break on January 14, 2020.

I need this dispute handled before that date. I pay a monthly fee for Directv and I want to watch what I want on my local channels. I should not have to miss my favorite show because an agreement cannot be met.

It is imperative that dispute be resolved between these two companies immediately, why should I be inconvenienced. Thank your time, I look forward to your to your immediate and appropriate response to this matter.

Don't get hooked on ABC

AI Highlights
  • - Dissatisfied with Hearst television and Direct tv negotiations.
  • - Negotiations should happen ahead of time to avoid punishing Direct tv viewers.

I am unhappy with Hearst television and Direct tv at this time. The biggest Jeopardy games of the century coming up and you two can't agree on terms. Do the negotiations ahead of time instead of punishing those of us who get our local channels from Direct tv instead of a separate antenna.
