Verizon/Nexstar Pissing Match

It appears that Nexstar and Verizon Fios are at the start of a pissing match over retransmission fees.

Both companies are warning viewers that they are in dispute over retransmission-consent and of course they blame each other for being greedy.

The dispute involves 10 Nexstar TV stations including WPIX New York, along with Nexstar’s cable channel NewsNation.

If the two sides don’t come to an agreement in the next week, the Nexstar channels will fall off Fios.

In the end, the two sides will eventually come to an agreement in which the details will not be made public and then months down the line, Verizon Fios customers will see their bill increase.
