Nexstar Stations Go Dark for DirecTV Customers in Carriage Dispute

DirecTV removed Nexstar Media Group's programming after failing to reach a new distribution agreement.
The blackout impacts more than 150 Nexstar stations across the U.S., including major broadcast networks and NewsNation.
Nexstar offered to extend the current agreement to continue negotiations, but DirecTV rejected the offer.
DirecTV claims Nexstar demanded over double the current fees for the same content while Nexstar says it aims for a quick resolution to restore programming.
The dispute could prevent DirecTV subscribers from accessing major live events like the MLB All-Star Game and Women's World Cup.
