(WHTM) – This Saturday, WHTM will broadcast three college football games, and on Sunday will broadcast one additional game.
The games will be exclusively broadcast on WHTM, but since WHTM was forced off the DIRECTV lineup on July 2, DIRECTV customers may not be able to watch the game unless the dispute between Nexstar and DIRECTV is resolved. DIRECTV customers are being urged to call the company at 800/531-5000 and demand that they restore WHTM to their systems.
DIRECTV subscribers do have other options to view the game:
- DIRECTV customers can switch their cable or satellite provider to another service. WHTM has reached agreements with all other local distributors and is available on all of them.
- WHTM is also available on streaming services such as YouTube TV and Hulu.
- As a broadcast station, WHTM broadcasts its signal over the public airwaves to anyone with an antenna, which you can find at stores like Best Buy.
- Many local restaurants and sports bars will also be carrying the game
WHTM’s parent company, Nexstar, is working hard to resolve the impasse with DIRECTV, but the company has twice turned down Nexstar’s offer of an extension. DIRECTV subscribers are again being urged to call DIRECTV at 800/531-5000 and complain.
