  • U-verse customers lose WSVN in a dispute over transmission rights
  • How to watch Sunday’s NFL playoff game between the Seahawks and Panthers if you’re an AT&T customer

Miami’s WSVN-Fox 7 flickered and disappeared early Saturday morning from the screens of viewers who get their TV service from AT&T U-verse when talks between the two on a new transmission-rights deal collapsed.

The dispute threatens to keep U-verse customers from being able to see Sunday’s NFL playoff game between Seattle and Carolina, at least without hooking their TV sets up to antennas or going online.

But the blackout may last longer because no threat of a blacked-out Super Bowl looms in the background. The only NFL playoff game on WSVN is the one Sunday, which will be available on the Internet at http://www.foxsports.com/foxsportsgo/ or by hooking up an antenna.

AT&T vice president Robert Thun sent WSVN a letter Saturday offering to pay the station for a full day of programming if it would relax the blackout for three hours to show the playoff game.

WSVN general manager Wayland said that he still hadn’t received the letter early Saturday evening, but that it didn’t matter. “We will air game only if we have a deal,” he said.
