Lost local CBS and ABC.

Last week they we're working fine. 
Yesterday I lost access to those two channels on my iPad and iPhone. 
It either says i need to connect to home WiFi (defeats the purpose of a streaming service) or I get subscription required TVAPP 00203. Your subscription does not include this channel. Please choose another channel. 

Why would i need a subscription for a local channel. 
I need my local channels for the news and am about ready to cancel and go with YouTube tv. 
note NBC is fine. 
Just please fix this.
