They want to increase profits. 20% on top of what DirecTV is already paying THEM to show Versus on the air.

I want to watch my Avs play, and Comcast's being assholes (as usual) and it's time to spam them to knock it off with their greed and let people watch what they are PAYING to watch.

2. I'm a Wyoming Cowboys fan, so I feel your pain.
I don't know if you know much about the Mountain West Conference, but Versus is the network we have our national games on...and I'm a DirecTV subscriber.

3. Just wait until they own NBC.
They'll be even more unbearable.

The problem is the communication act of the 90's which Bill Clinton signed, and allowed for all these mass media mergers, while the public gets screwed
