Day 24: DirecTV, KAYU At Impasse

Item: Looking for numbers: How much should DirecTV pay KAYU for programs?/Tom Sowa, Office Hours

More Info: Day 24 of the KAYU DIRECTV blackout, with no sign that the impasse will end soon. We asked both sides by e-mail if movement was likely today. We learned neither side seems optimistic. DIRECTV said, simply, they saw nothing new to resolve the long dispute — which centers on how much DIRECTV will pay, per household, for the ability to deliver KAYU's Fox Network Spokane-based programs to viewers in the region.

Question: Has the ongoing impasse between DirecTV and KAYU prompted you to look for another cable provider?
