Nexstar stations — including KTVX-Channel 4 and KUCW-Channel 30 in Utah — have been removed from DirecTV's lineup.Two Utah TV stations have been removed from DirecTV’s lineup, part of what the satellite television provider is calling “the largest local TV outage in U.S. history.”
In a statement, Nexstar said it has offered “the same fair market rates it offered to other distribution partners with whom it completed successful negotiations in the past year” for its “highly-rated programming.” Both sides vowed to continue negotiations. The DirecTV-Nexstar negotiations are happening at the corporate level, so the management of KTVX and KUCW can only wait to hear when the dispute is settled.
