VESTAL, NY (WSKG) – New York 22nd District Congressman Anthony Brindisi is criticizing AT&T for taking local television channels off of its subsidiary, DirecTV.
This comes after DirectTV dropped WICZ in Binghamton in February.
“These blackouts are a public safety issue,” said Brindisi. “Many New Yorkers use local television to find out about breaking news, traffic accidents, and important weather events. These blackouts need to end.”
The Democrat’s district includes Binghamton, Cortland and Norwich.
