130,000 ballots in that state. >> Large numbers of Bay area sports bars facing a potential nightmare scenario. This weekend into Monday, as DirectTV and Disney continue to duke it out over a contractual dispute. Thousands of area subscribers, including bars, are now wondering if they'll even be able to air the Niners opener. KTVU Zac sos live in Walnut Creek tonight after speaking with the owner of the Stadium pub, one of many area bars that are caught in the middle of all of this. Zach >> Yeah, you said it like so many bars across the country who subscribed to DirecTV. The bar owner here telling me that she first lost her access to channels like Disney, ABC, ESPN on Sunday. Right now, the thought of not being able to air a weekend of college football, followed by the Niners on Monda, literally bringing her to tears. >> I'm frustrated. I'm angry with the Niners opener against the Jets scheduled for Monday. >> Patti Sherman, owner of the Stadium pub and Walnut Creek, staring at screens like these. >> Okay, what's the plan? I don't, I don't know. >> Bars and more than 11 million DirecTV customers caught in the middle of a contractual dispute over carriage fees between the satellite TV provider and Disney, the owner of networks ABC and ESPN. Screens going dark last Sunday when the LSU USC game didn't come on, one of my guys called me. >> He's like, what's going on? I don't know what's happening. >> Bars like hers, which already operate on small profit margins, eyeing potentially huge losses over the weekend. I'm going to lose money all weekend. >> I don't have ESPN tomorrow. I don't have the SEC network. I don't have ABC. And there's a lot of big games on tomorrow and I'm facing Monday Night Football. Patti, now busy searching for a last minute workaround. >> Her former cable TV provider Comcast unable to get her set up in time. A block away, Broderick Roadhouse in a similar bind. >> We went to put on our sports channels and none of them worked. >> This as Niners fans have been calling ahead to reserve seats for the big game. >> We're trying to figure out some ways around it or figure out a different direction we need to go, but so far it's not been the best. >> Back at the stadium, pub regular Robert not personally impacted. He has tickets to Levi's but angry for Patti. >> I think it's ridiculous that you can come to a sports bar and want to see your favorite team, and then somehow it's not on TV. >> Meantime, DirecTV subscriber Ron now planning to watch the game at a friend's house and pondering a breakup. >> Put it this way if they don't fix it soon, I will change it. >> As Patti continues to watch the clock tick down, I'm going to get this figured, but it's a real hard scramble right now. And as far as how long this could last, that's anyone's guess right now. Both sides continuing to point the finger of blame at one
