Help with Locast App

[BladesNBarrels]

I'm a DirectTV customer that is tired of CBS and AT&T blacking out the CBS Channels - Denver's Channel 4, Smithsonian Channel.
DirectTV posts a message that I can try Locast.
I looked on the internet and Locast indicates it is available in Denver.
I have a Sony smart TV and get Netflix and Amazon Prime, but there is no listing for Locast in the Available Apps option.
There does seem to be a portal to the internet, but no keyboard comes up when I select that option, so I can't type in Locast.
Anyone else have a similar circumstance or an alternative?
Amazon Prime offers CBS All Access at $5.99 a month or $9.99 a month for "reduced commercials", whatever that means.
Any advice on a solution would help with my frustration.
Thanks

Check again. We got CBS back on Directv now.

Just looked and it is back now.
Thanks for the head's up!
Wonder how much of a price increase I can expect.

https://www.locast.org/markets/?dma=751 Is this what you were looking for ?

[BladesNBarrels]

Interesting.
I went to the site and it just locks up after I allow it to find my location.

Oh, the brinkmanship of re-transmission negotiations. It's a mess how these fees are making a game of what was available for free over the air.

Have you tried using an antenna on your smart TV? I find the picture quality is better OTA since it's less compressed than what you get over cable/satellite.

We're kind of in a hole by Marston Lake. My neighbor has one in his highest window and gets a couple of channels.
I will have to ask him which ones he gets, but he doesn't watch TV much.
I admit I have it on in the background a lot.
When the cable tv companies first entered the market in the Denver area and were trying to get people to subscribe to something they were getting for free, the PROMISE was:
Commercial Free TV.

Oh, the lies they told
