Two days ago I lost my local NBC, ABC, and CBS station in Albuquerque which were replaced by network programming and news reports from other cities for which I'm not interested in hearing their local news.  I've reported it daily with no response.

 

Anyone else having this problem?

@Kachina624  You have to make sure whoever is the master on your Youtube account didn't change your location area.

 

If you're the main person, reset your location in your account settings so Youtube knows where you are again. 

 

Change your home area

  1. Open the YouTube TV app.
  2. Select your profile photo  and then Location and then Home Area.
  3. Select Update Home Area.

 

You cannot change your home area if:

  • You already changed your home area twice in the last 12 months
  • You aren’t currently located in your new home area

2 people have similar issues.  Solutions are the same as the ones already posted here.

Nope.  All good in Western NY and Finger Lakes region.

@Laura14.  Thanks but I'm the only person on the account.   8ve gone through those steps listed, changed my location which already showed correctly, but it didn't make a difference.

 

I guess I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling the app and reset my router.
