Direct TV and Sunbeam Television are engaged in an economic conflict over the fees that Direct TV should pay to Sunbeam for the rights to carry WHDH TV Channel 7 and WLVI Channel 56.
Whatever the outcome, the losers are local viewers who receive Direct TV.
On February 5 NBC will broadcast the Superbowl. WHDH is the local NBC broadcast outlet.
If this dispute is not settled by then, Direct TV subscribers will not receive a broadcast of the Superbowl.
