Direct TV dropping Spike tonight at midnight

[Volture]

- Viacom is currently threatening to pull all of its programming from DirecTV at midnight due to an ongoing dispute over rights fees. The network, whose channels include Comedy Central, Logo, BET, Spike, TV Land, Nick@Nite, Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nick Jr., MTV, VH1, MTV2, Tr3´s, CMT and Palladia, says that they will pull the programming if a new deal cannot be reached; that would result in TNA losing access to over 20 million DirecTV customers.

DirecTV says that Viacom is asking for a huge fee increase, while Viacom counters that DirecTV wants to pay them less than any other carrier currently in business with the provider and that they have already been paying a lower rate, as their current contract is seven years.

direct tv and dish are definitely not winning people over with all the channels that they are dropping

Direct tv and dish suck even worse than Cablevision. And that's saying something.

i see your sucky cablevision and raise you shitty comcast.

Atleast Comcast gets all the channels. We pay through the ass for shitty customer service, but we can watch what we want.

I like Comcast. They offer over 700 channels, with over 50 HD channels and WWE on Demand.
