It doesn't seem like this will ever be resolved. I suspect AT&T doesn't care, because it certainly feels like it's in the process of winding down U-Verse and pushing everything to DirecTV. Seems like it'll be on WRAL to capitulate, and who knows if it's willing to set that precedent. My understanding with MASN is that the reason why it has still never given in to Spectrum or U-Verse is that if it agrees to be put on a pay tier, that would impact MASN's carriage contracts with other cable providers. Hopefully a similar dynamic is not at work here, where WRAL literally can't agree to a price of $x with U-Verse because it would impact its contracts with Spectrum, etc.

My only hope at this point is that the parties are motivated to resolve this to accommodate the Olympics early next year.

This is so hilarious as WRAL gives their product away for free to anyone with a $15 antenna.

I stopped the cable paying game a couple years ago, couldn't be happier. I don't even turn the TV on when my wife is gone.

I really wish more people would give it up. I know it's hard at first. There are alternatives vs quitting cold turkey. Ours cost $10/month for streaming TV which is about all it's worth to us...

Seems like more alternatives every day. A smart TV with an HDTV ** antenna in a house with wifi is open to a huge world of cheap or free video entertainment.
Search the forum and the internet for "Cut The Cable"

** AKA "rabbit ears"

I know that many people have switched from Uverse to Direct TV. How do the two services compare? Do they offer comparable pricing? How does the DVR compare? I am getting frustrated and thinking of making the switch....

They're both owned by AT&T

Yup, and hence we can make the switch even if we are under contract....

Yup, and you may even get a spiff for the move.

OK hang on just a minute.....so ACCN used to play on WRAL when it was a CBS affiliate before switching to NBC.....

I suddenly find myself unable to find ACCN/Raycom in my channel guide with U-Verse.

I had assumed that ACCN played through CBS and thus would still be available via CBS now.

Low and behold they're currently showing that Survivor will play instead of the UNC/Bucknell game on CBS. Nothing plays on NBC because of the WRAL/ATT beef......

DO I NOT GET ACCN NOW BECAUSE OF THIS NONSENSE?!!?! SOMEONE'S GONNA BURN!!!!!!

Raycom’s ACC network makes deals with individual stations. Has nothing to do with affiliation.

Aren’t all the games usually aired on an ESPN network as well?
