I could give two shits less what happens to TNA and I don't even have Direct TV.


I can't see them dropping Viacom. Who the fuck would drop so many major channels and expect to keep any business?

2 sides to every story. Viacom is only telling people what they want them to hear. What they are not telling anyone is that the reason the negotiations are being held up is because Viacom wants 30% more $$$ from DirecTV in their new contract. DirecTV is refusing to give 30% because that would mean one of two things. 1. DirecTV has to raise their monthly rates for all customers. or 2. DirecTV would have to go the route that Dish Network went and bump all channels owned by Viacom up to a higher level channel package, therefore still costing the customers that want those channels more $$$.
