A message for DIRECTV Stream subscribers
This message is for customers who receive KOCO on the DIRECTV Stream internet-delivered video service; if you receive your television programming via a DIRECTV satellite dish attached to your home, you should not be impacted.
DIRECTV and The Walt Disney Company have reached an impasse in negotiating an agreement for the carriage of their channels including KOCO a local ABC affiliate on DIRECTV’s internet-delivered video service DIRECTV Stream.
To be clear, we have not “blacked out” our station. Neither KOCO nor Hearst, the station’s parent company, is involved in the discussions between DIRECTV and The Walt Disney Company and do not control KOCO’s continued carriage on the service. We hope the parties can conclude their negotiations as soon as possible, in order to restore our programming to our respective viewers and customers.
You may continue to receive our station for free, over the air, or by various satellite, cable or other internet-delivered video service providers.
