Why did Direct TV Drop Spike Comedy Centeral and other channels?

Answer 1

Direct T.V. has apparently received an increase in costs for these stations via Viacom and is in contract negotiations. It is, however, unethical and possibly illegal for Direct T.V. to continue to charge millions of customers for services and products they are NOT providing. I will demand a credit and file a complaint with the BBB and the attorney general.

If you've ever tried to deal with Direct T.V., you must be aware of the hours of frustration, the level of incompetence and as with most monopolies such as this, the fact that they are just too big. You can finally give a sigh of relief, thinking you've resolved an issue, but no. Their advertising is so aggressive and claims that they are excellent and widely known as false. It's just what we got, or the only game in town when your management decides this is who will provide the service. That's about what I know.
