  • List of Directv Channels (United States)
    List of DirecTV channels (United States) Below is a numerical representation of the current DirecTV national channel lineup in the United States. Some channels have both east and west feeds, airing the same programming with a three-hour delay on the latter feed, creating a backup for those who missed their shows. The three-hour delay also represents the time zone difference between Eastern (UTC -5/-4) and Pacific (UTC -8/-7). All channels are the East Coast feed if not specified. High definition Most high-definition (HDTV) and foreign-language channels may require a certain satellite dish or set-top box. Additionally, the same channel number is listed for both the standard-definition (SD) channel and the high-definition (HD) channel, such as 202 for both CNN and CNN HD. DirecTV HD receivers can tune to each channel separately. This is required since programming may be different on the SD and HD versions of the channels; while at times the programming may be simulcast with the same programming on both SD and HD channels. Part time regional sports networks and out of market sports packages will be listed as ###-1. Older MPEG-2 HD receivers will no longer receive the HD programming. Special channels In addition to the channels listed below, DirecTV occasionally uses temporary channels for various purposes, such as emergency updates (e.g. Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike information in September 2008, and Hurricane Irene in August 2011), and news of legislation that could affect subscribers. The News Mix channels (102 and 352) have special versions during special events such as the 2008 United States Presidential Election night coverage and during the Inauguration of Barack Obama.

  • Gray Local News Programming Report
    THE IMPACT ON THE AMOUNT OF NEWS PROGRAMMING FROM CONSOLIDATION IN THE LOCAL TELEVISION STATION INDUSTRY Mark R. Fratrik, Ph.D., SVP/Chief Economist September 23, 2020 Abstract The FCC’s broadcast ownership rules, which generally prohibit a single entity from owning more than one television station in most markets, are inhibiting the production of local news in television markets across the country – especially in small television markets. As shown in this report, from 2014 to 2020, Gray Television was able to add more local news programming in markets where it acquired a second station or major network affiliation as compared to those markets where Gray’s holdings remained constant. Moreover, the largest increases in local news production arose from consolidation in the smallest markets. With greater local scale from in- market consolidation, Gray was able to spread the high fixed costs of local news production across multiple stations or networks, which allowed Gray to produce more local news programming than those stations otherwise were able to produce separately. Based on Gray’s experience, we anticipate that relaxing the FCC’s ownership rules would lead to more local news, more local journalism, and more local newsroom jobs.
