All of us at Alliance Communications hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Our office will close on Thursday, November 28, and will reopen on Monday, December 2. However, our Help Desk is available 24/7. Dial 611 from any phone with Alliance service or call (605) 582-6311 from your cell phone.

Alliance Communications is in contract discussions with five content providers. Our existing agreements with these providers expire December 31, 2019.

We are working to negotiate fair renewal terms and pricing for these networks. We hope to reach an agreement with all networks that will result in a minimal increase on your bill and no changes to your channel lineup.

However, at this point, all of these networks and broadcast stations are demanding higher fees for their channels. KTTW Fox, which has no local news but carries Fox national programming, NFL games and the 2020 Super Bowl, is asking for an increase of more than 50%. Cozi and This TV both want an increase of more than 400%.

Because we value you as a customer, we want to know how important these channels are to you. We invite you to take our survey. Your feedback will provide valuable information that we will use during our negotiations.
