Updated pics that i took from my plasma this morning. I took those pics in the OP are from my SDTV in the kitchen last night.

I watch Nick, Teen Nick, Spike, and Comedy Central. The rest of the channels they can throw in the bushes. I have Netflix so I'd :eat: if the channels were lost and I'd have other ways of seeing Impact Wrestling on Thursdays

I have no idea why Viacom didn't learn anything from the Dish/AMC dispute. 2 of the big 3 providers (Dish/DirectTV/Comcast) aren't takin the shyt from the networks anymore. Dish threw the AMC suite in the bushes and gave those who watched AMC programming either Roku boxes w credit on bill, or iTunes/Amazon cards worth a season of shows.

DirecTV does usually have a good habit of dealing with disputes. However, they aren't scared of dropping channels (G4)

I can use Netflix for a while if need be. Throw those channels in the bushes, they'll be back to negotiate after a week

Edit: updated OP with better pics

I hope DTV grows some balls. Drop them and punk them into coming back.

Viacom won't get as much as they're asking for (they never do and know this, but they just want a raise).

Apparently Viacom is trying to shake DirecTV down because their ratings are in the tank across the board, which led to them making less ad money.

Solid Signal Blog - DIRECTV vs. VIACOM: The real reason for the squabble

Maybe if Viacom stopped relying on reruns and reality, they wouldn't have to shake down providers

U tellin me ppl dont want to see dumbass shows.like Awkward, teen wolf, season 83 of the real world, jershey shore spinoffs, or reruns of the Hills at ten in the morning?:snoop:

Viacom needs to go with its bread and butter and expand Victorious:stylin::yes:
