The Programming Disputes Thread

And now there is a dispute between Google and Amazon where You Tube is being pulled from Amazon devices: https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/5/...ube-pulled-off-fire-tv-echo-show-nest-devices

But I tend to agree with this article: https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/5/16738752/google-youtube-amazon-punishing-customers-feud

I recently got a Roku Express for a birthday present from my family and found out I like their version of You Tube better.So while I think Google is wrong in pulling You Tube from Amazon devices I still have other options.

Yes According to Youtube the contract with Amazon Fire will end on January 1st. Wow I expect Dish Network to get into contract disputes though when it comes to various TV stations around the country but never App video though.

However Amazon did have a history of Contract disputes when it came with the AppleTV and Google Chromecast though. This has stuff to do with Amazon wanting to push the Amazon Fire TV receiver.
 
On Dec. 21, it will be exactly 3 months that American Spirit pulled Jackson, Miss. Fox affiliate WDBD from DirecTV. Three months without a local Fox affiliate. I hope somewhere down the road somebody purchases the station & America Spirit goes bankrupt!

Effective 2pm Pacific on Tuesday, the CBS affiliate in Silver State's second city and the NBC affiliate serving River City were removed from U-Verse lineups in the respective markets. Why? It's the result of yet another impasse over a new retransmission fee agreement.

Starz, Altice Battle Over New Carriage Agreement as New Year’s Eve Deadline Looms

Starz and Altice USA are going down to the wire on a new carriage agreement that could result in Starz going dark on the cable operator as of Jan. 1.

Starz took ads out in the New York Times and New York Post on Saturday warning Altice subscribers that they could soon lose the pay TV network that is home to “Outlander,” “Power” and other premium dramas. The deal covers all of Altice systems, including its stronghold on Long Island and in Midwestern markets. Altice is the nation’s fourth largest cable operator, with about 4.9 million subscribers across 21 states.

Altice cited declining viewership for Starz on its systems and the fact that Starz has launched a standalone streaming option as reasons for the contract tussle. Starz maintains it has had no trouble reaching new deals with other MVPDs in recent months including the new wave of digital distributors.
