Boston City Councilors waded into a fee dispute between DirecTV and The Weather Channel yesterday, passing a resolution asking them to iron out their stormy relationship, and the national weather channel thanked the city for speaking up.
"As a Bostonian myself, I know that weather in New England is to be taken seriously. I hope that DirecTV either waives their steep cancellation fees for viewers that want to switch to a new provider who carries our channel or that they come back to the negotiating table so that The Weather Channel is restored to the more than 300,000 DirecTV households in the Commonwealth," Weather Channel CEO David Kenny said in a statement.
DirecTV customers lost The Weather Channel earlier this month when the companies could not come to agreement on fees paid by the satellite service to the channel. DirecTV officials could not be reached for comment.
Weather Channel meteorologist Jim Cantore wrote an open letter to DirecTV, saying, "It's a dangerous gamble to put lives at risk for a penny."
The resolution, filed by Councilor Stephen Murphy, asked "DirecTV and The Weather Channel to continue negotiations until a fair and desirable conclusion is reached that allows Boston residents access to the top rated weather service."
