Direct TV and Viacom – one or both of these companies is trying to gouge us

Added Jul 11, 2012 in Entertainment | 23 Reviews

So I flip on comedy central to find out that there is some dispute between Direct TV and Viacom and that they are going to be taking 26 channels off the air because they have not been able to negotiate a contract. I think this is absolutely outrageous. For one, it looks like Viacom is trying to increase the price for its channels by 30 percent and that just seems a bit outrageous to me. Secondly, Viacom says that they would have given Direct TV a extension on its current contract so that they could figure out the new one and customers could still keep they channels. Who do we believe. I have a feeling that Viacom is the one that is trying to screw us over and Direct TV is taking a stand, but who knows. It could be a ply for the both of them to get more money. Viacom already tried to sue YouTube for a billion dollars, so we already know that they are a bunch of greedy asses. I wouldn’t put it past them to try another stunt to make their pockets fatter. I hope that every provider just does the same thing so that we can get our channels back and not have to pay over 200 bucks a month just to watch TV and have internet.
