WOW so the mud slinging has really began. Im sure that many of you have seen the psas that fx has been running on american horror story and sons of anarchy... and directv has responded with putting up its own channels pointing the finger back at fox. basicly the contract is up that allows DTV to carry FX, National Geographic Channel, Speed Channel, Fox Soccer Channel, Fox Soccer Plus, Fox Movie Channel, Fox Deportes, FuelTV, as well as 13 regional sports networks (okc included) fox is saying that directv does not want to give into negotiations that will allow them to carry the channels while a final price is determined. DTV is stating that fox is wanting 40% increase and they just are not paying it. it gets deeper than that here is the link for dtv arguements, could not find the link for News corp, but im sure its a simple google search away. www.ourpromisetoyou.com I work for Directv and I am hating this already and we havent even droped the channels yet. fingers are being pointed lines are being drawn, and the customers are just being refered to and bounced back and forth between the two companys. at this point its not going to get resolved by the first so the channels will go bye-bye hopefully to return soon. its going to cause issues for both companys as dtv will loose customers, and the more customers that tie up our phones bitching costs us more and more money, then News Corp will loose money from marketing and advertising so it comes down to who you the customer call in and ***** to to determine who caves first and gives into the other. or it may end up like G-4 channel to just never return again.
