Two of the impacted markets — Des Moines IA and Louisville KY — could lose tonight’s NFL Wild Card matchup between the Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots on CBS. Eleven other markets could miss Sunday’s January 5 contest between the Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles, including nearby Harrisburg, PA.

In addition to playoff football, many TV fans could also miss the 77th annual Golden Globe Awards on NBC Sunday night. Hearst took the actions on January 3 at 5 p.m. EST after granting four temporary extensions on a retransmission consent agreement. According to industry research by Kagan, retrans fees have gone from about $215 million in 2006 to $11.7 billion in 2019, an increase of 5,359 percent.

“We must have Hearst’s permission to offer any of its stations and have repeatedly asked Hearst to keep them available while we conclude a new business agreement privately,” DirecTV said in a statement. “Hearst has refused and instead continues to demand far higher fees than we have ever agreed to with any other station owner including very recent deals with far larger broadcasters.
