DirecTV, DirecTV NOW and U-verse users had their access to the stations axed 2AM east this morning.
"T" wanted to offer them as a separate streaming option in exchange for less of a fee increase, which hasn't occurred with the channels since 2012.

These outages are like clockwork any more.

I hate to defend AT&T (really hate it) but if the article is correct then CBS is asking a 50% increase in carriage fees at a time when OTA network viewership is in steep decline. That’s really not what the market is indicating.

It's not just the OTA CBS stations that are our. CBS Sports Network is off as well. At least it is for us in LA market. Really distresses my mother-in-law who cannot watch her PBR bull riding.

It doesn't help with CBS Sports Network, but DirecTV users who have an HR44 or an HR54 model DVR and are in markets with a CBS O&O should be able to call DirecTV and order a free Local Channel Connector (LCC), which is a separate box that connects to the DVR via USB, receives OTA channels, and integrates them with the satellite channels in the DVR.

(I have an HR54 DVR, and I'm planning on making this call later today -- I don't watch much CBS, but I'm interested in having subchannels that aren't carried via satellite by DirecTV. The LCC is currently only available to DirecTV users in areas where there's an OTA channel dispute, so this is my chance.)
