Golden Knights fans who subscribe to DirecTV are facing challenges in watching the Stanley Cup Final due to an ongoing dispute between the satellite provider and Scripps Local Media, which owns KTNV-TV, Channel 13. This channel went dark on DirecTV subscribers on Sunday evening, affecting access to local ABC programming. The dispute revolves around retransmission fees, which are payments local stations demand from TV providers for broadcasting their content. DirecTV customers are not only missing out on the Stanley Cup Final but also the NBA Finals. Channel 13 has provided alternative viewing options on its website, suggesting digital antennas, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and other streaming services. Additionally, viewers can access the station's news and content through its website and streaming apps. For those looking to watch the Stanley Cup Final and NBA Finals, logging into the ESPN app with DirecTV credentials is also an option. Game 2 between the Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes is scheduled for 5 p.m. on Thursday, and fans are encouraged to explore these alternatives to catch the action.
