AT&amp;T also blamed Sunbeam for increasing the fees, which DirecTV has to pay to run the stations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSunbeam is demanding a significant increase in their current fees just to let these same families keep watching shows that remain available for free over-the-air on channels 7 and 56 and often online at NBC.com and CWTV.com,\u201d said AT&amp;T spokeswoman, Kate MacKinnon. \u201cSunbeam has temporarily suspended its stations from our customers several times before, so we appreciate their patience as we work to resolve this matter quickly, reasonably, and with the least possible inconvenience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sunbeam was engaged in a similar dispute with Comcast earlier this year, which forced Comcast to end its affiliation with WHDH. This eventually led into the creation of NBC Boston station, which will be available to the subscribers by the year 2017. Sunbeam Company and its owner Ed Ansin battled against the decision, but they failed in the court.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_827\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-827\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-827\" class=\"wp-image-827 size-medium\" title=\"Offers From DirecTV\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DirecTV-8-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"DirecTV\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DirecTV-8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DirecTV-8.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-827\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>NBC On DirecTV<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As for DirecTV, it is currently unknown whether the dispute was regarding the same issue, as both the companies have not mentioned anything regarding the matter in the press.
