Sinclair Broadcast Group They don't wanna add Charge!,Stadium and TBD to the Milwaukee,Wisconsin DTV market on the air Hunt Valley Maryland
Sinclair Broadcast Group refused and they don't wanna add Charge!,Stadium and TBD to the Milwaukee,Wisconsin DTV market on the air!!! I contacted and e-mailed Sinclair Broadcast Group to request those channels on DTV in Milwaukee,Wisconsin,but they don't answer their phones and their e-mails.
They don't respond and They don't answer their phones and e-mails!!! Ever since the FCC Spectrum auction incident that happened in January 8, 2018,The FCC pulled and took off Channel 18.2 and Channel 24.3 off the DTV Market and changed the call sign from WCGV to WVTV DT-2, That caused Channel 18 and Channel 24 to lose bits and to lose bandwidth on DTV!!!
Charge! shows good programming than Grit, Stadium is a sports network and TBD is a variety channel that shows videos. Sinclair Broadcast Group is preventing Milwaukee,Wisconsin from carrying those three networks on DTV!!! If Madison,Wisconsin and Green Bay,Wisconsin carry those three networks along with Comet TV,Milwaukee gotta have those three networks too.
Everybody cannot afford cable,Everybody is not gonna stream those networks,because you need a password and Wi-Fi to stream those networks!!! I contacted Sinclair Broadcast Group about putting those three channels on WIWN-TV Channel 68 and WMKE Channel 21 in Milwaukee,Wisconsin,because they have plenty of bandwidth and bits on their DTV Channels.Please put Milwaukee,Wisconsin on the list for adding those three networks on DTV.

In order for a channel to either appear on cable or DTV, it involves a negotiation between a station like Sinclair and DTV. The ultimate decision to have Sinclair on DTV is to have DTV begin carrying Sinclair, not for you to write Sinclair and tell them to get into a specific market because Sinclair would want to be in EVERY market they can. However, it isn't their choice.
You need to write DTV and tell them they need to carry Sinclair ASAP, and stop writing Sinclair. You're going to find DTV takes the position we don't want Sinclair on the air because they don't like their political positions and their programming.
