Limited Coverage Of Olympics<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Cape Cod DirecTV customers won\u2019t be able to watch some major Olympic games due to the carriage fee dispute between Sunbeam Television Corporation and DirecTV. Sunbeam is the parent company of NBC Universal affiliate WHDH-TV and WLVI-TV, which had blacked out on DirecTV from July 16.<\/p>\n

Popular and major events such as the opening and closing ceremonies, track and field events, as well as gymnastics, swimming, and diving competitions, which are covered by NBC, will be missed by DirecTV customers. However, customers can watch many other Olympic events from other channels available on DirecTV.<\/p>\n

Selected Olympic events will be broadcasted on Bravo, the Golf Channel, CNBC, MSNBC, USA Network, NBC Universo, NBCSN, and other sports channels. Besides that, customers can also access thousands of hours of Olympic Games via live streaming services, or use an antenna to tune into WHDH and WLVI-TV.<\/p>\n

Comments<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Owner of Kian n\u2019 Rylee\u2019s Pub & Patio on Main Street in Hyannis, Sean Whelahan, said that, \u201cWe\u2019re getting some of the Olympics, but we\u2019re not going to get the opening ceremonies unless they resolve it. I\u2019m upset. I think a large company like that should inform people rather than have no communication.\u201d<\/p>\n

Limited Games Aired on DirecTV<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

The director of news relations for AT&T, Kate MacKinnon, said that negotiations are going on. She said, \u201cWe are working hard to prevent Sunbeam from blocking any Olympics fans. We want to get WHDH and WLVI back into our Boston customers\u2019 lineups and share their frustration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vice president and general manager of WLVI and WHDH, Paul Magnes, said the talks had been unsuccessful. \u201cWe are merely seeking fair and reasonable market value for the transmission of our signals. Sunbeam Television has been able to negotiate agreements with many other providers and we are working to settle this matter so that our station will once again be available on the DirecTV lineup,\u201d Magnes said.<\/p>\n

Lauren Skowronski, an NBC Universal representative, commented that, \u201cAny DirecTV subscriber who has access to USA Network in their video package can stream all Olympics coverage, including NBC coverage, on NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Sports app.\u201d<\/p>\n

The current situation can force the customers to switch to cable TV alternatives. \u201cViewers lose the ability to watch the TV channel. The problem for the carrier is that they lose the ability to keep the customer happy. And the problem to the channel is that they have fewer customers, so they aren\u2019t able to charge as much, said Jeff Kagan, a telecom analyst.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
