Interesting glitch here in Austin right now...if I tune to 24-1 I don't go to KVUE, I go to some kind of DirecTV channel that that tells me there and issue coming. Then, if I press the channel up or down, I go to the KVUE OTA signal. Strange.....

KVUE and/or DirecTV are trying to ensure that the viewers know about the possible loss of its signal on DirecTV.

kenglish, I don't think your analogy is exactly correct. In relation to local OTA stations, cable and satellite are "Distributors", not content creators. So, if they were claiming they created the content, it would be an issue. But they are simply charging to deliver the content.
To use your analogy, you can get the free newspaper yourself, or you can pay me to go get it for you and deliver it to you!

Cable and satellite quit being just "Distributors" long ago, when they started owning regional sports networks, putting advertising on channels locally, and offering PPV. Now, they are just like a big supermarket, selling any and every product they can, whether a "national brand" or "house brand".
And, I still can't forgive them for their "dis-information campaign" on the Digital TV Transition. ::)

Oh yea, it's clearly a DirecTV doing, as it's all D* menus saying call KVUE.
