FOX 17 and DirecTV are currently in negotiations to renew our programming agreement. While we are working hard to reach a fair deal, DirecTV – a multi‑billion‑dollar corporation that controls programming distribution for millions of Americans – may remove FOX 17's trusted, locally produced news, along with key sports and entertainment programming from its channel lineup.
What you can do:
If you are a DirecTV customer, contact DirecTV at 1-855-KEEP-US-5 (1-855-533-7875) and tell them you want to keep FOX 17's programming in your channel lineup.
Our priority is to make sure that you continue to have access to the sports, news, weather and traffic updates that support your daily life, in addition to all the great programs we know you love. If a temporary disruption occurs, here's how you can still stay connected to FOX 17's programming:
Free Options:
