A new dispute has resulted in Verizon Fios pulling four affiliates owned by Cox Media Group at the start of the new year, which affects Wheel of Fortune in two markets: Pittsburgh, PA and Syracuse, NY. WPXI, the NBC affiliate in Pittsburgh, airs Wheel Monday through Saturday at 7:30 PM (4:00 AM Saturdays during football season). WSYT, the FOX affiliate in Syracuse, airs Wheel Monday through Friday at 7:00 PM. Its sister station, MyNetworkTV affiliate WNYS, airs the Saturday reruns at 7:00 PM, and often airs weekday episodes that are pre-empted on WSYT by FOX sporting events. Both Syracuse stations are affected by the dispute. More info: www.broadcastingcable.com/news/apollo-cox-stations-blacked-verizon-fios-viewers |

Seeing that the thread is just called "Station Disputes 2020", and since this probably won't be the only dispute this year, I suggest that we have a "sticky" thread.
My opinion? Any viewer who can watch both shows over-the-air might as well get their digital antenna ready. This can also be applied to TPiR and Harvey Feud where stations are available.

^ Do they use a provider owned by AT&T? If not, you’ll be fine.

Dish and Nexstar are disputing. WBRE which shows WOF in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton has been taken off as of tonight. There's more than just that station but that's the only one I know as of now.

Huh. This year's thread didn't grow as big as I thought it would, but next year's thread might be longer with more disputes.
EDIT: Already, there are two users on JBoard posted that they plan to use an antenna. One of them said that viewers will hate both sides for this, though it shouldn't matter quite as much if you do have an antenna.
