The contract dispute between DirecTV and The E.W. Scripps Company has continued into June, with DirecTV subscribers in almost 40 markets across the country still without access to local Scripps-owned stations.

The blackout has impacted major cities including Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Nashville and Phoenix, with subscribers no longer able to view their local ABC and NBC affiliates. The timing couldn’t be worse, as ABC is home to the current NBA and NHL finals, while the U.S. Open golf tournament airs on NBC, in addition to the broadcast networks’ regular lineup of shows.
