    www.cablefaxdaily.com, Published by Access Intelligence, LLC, Tel: 301-354-2101 Cablefax DailyTM Tuesday — May 7, 2019 What the Industry Reads First Volume 30 / No. 087 Retrans Watch: Nexstar Sues DirecTV Over Fees for Unlaunched Station When Nexstar came forward with its plan to buy Tribune, there were objections from some distributors that claim the broadcaster is a bad actor when it comes to retransmission consent negotiations. But this time around, Nexstar is pointing the finger at the other side of the negotiating table. It has suedDirecTV in a NY federal court, claiming breach of contract. At issue is an “unlaunched station fee” that it says DirecTV agreed to pay for not being required to immediately launch Nexstar station WHAG (aka WDVM). The Hagerstown, MD, station lost its affiliation with NBC on July 1, 2016. “DirecTV now erroneously claims that its obligation to pay the unlaunched station fee depends on the station retaining its network affiliation. Nothing in the contract supports DirecTV’s wishful thinking,” Nexstar told the court. “Indeed, the contract plainly places the risk on DirecTV that the station might lose its network affiliation during the contract’s term.” Reached for comment, an AT&T spokesperson said, “While we hope to resolve this with Nexstar, we dispute their claims and plan to respond.” WHAG made retrans waves earlier this year, with Antietam Broadband losing it on Jan 1 (it remains off the provider’s lineup). DISH and Verizon Fios carry the channel, which offers local news for the area. Comcast carries the station in-market, but stopped carrying it out-of-market in March.
