I had to reload my Directv lineup yesterday and now my local ABC station is no longer authenticating. Is this a Channels issue or Directv?
Sounds like ABC. It logged in. Just denied you access. Are you using the https:// link to scan your channels. Local channels generally use your location as well to get access.
There's talk on Reddit that the Boston affiliate is having issues. Are you near Boston?
No, im in north carolina
Here's what I do
Open a new Private/Incognito browser window.
Go to ABC Live Stream - ABC.com and SIGN IN with your provider.
If it doesn't let you watch your local station, sign out and try with another brand browser (*).
When you get it streaming, open another tab in the same browser.
Bring up your Channels DVR web admin UI using Secure HTTPS.
Toggle [ ] Local Networks via TV Everywhere off, then on.
Your browser should ask you to allow location service and then it will scan your locals.
(*) I've had it work with one browser, but fail with another using Brave, Edge and Firefox.

Seems like my local is the only one that wont play on that site. All the other ABC owned networks in that guide will play fine, but when I click on my local ABC affiliate nothing happens.
Did you try different browsers?
So far tried Chrome Safari and Brave.
You could try to contact them via Chat, Phone or email using the links here.
Or Directv and the company that owns my local abc channel no longer have a carriage agreement
