DIRECTV Statement on Citadel Broadcasting Dispute in Nebraska

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 Lincoln, Neb., 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 station as we have for many years, unless Citadel demands that we take it away from our customers. If the station comes down after the deadline, customers can tune to an alternative ABC station – KHGI, channel 13 – but make no mistake, it will be solely and completely the station owner’s (Citadel’s) decision to take the station away from our customers.”
