Business Wire
DIRECTV released the following statement today from Derek Chang,
executive vice president of Programming for DIRECTV:
“DIRECTV’s contract with the Citadel-owned ABC station in Des
Moines, Iowa, and the CBS station in Davenport, Iowa, is expiring
on March 31. We have been negotiating in good faith to try and
reach a resolution and will continue to do so. If an agreement is
not reached by the deadline, we intend to continue to provide the
stations as we have for many years, unless Citadel demands that we
take them away from our customers. If the stations come down
after the deadline, make no mistake, it will be solely and
completely the station owner’s (Citadel’s) decision to take the
channels away from our customers.”
