so how are you specifically "in the know" to decide who is actually correct and make such a matter of fact stance? Its because of your blatant anti-DirecTV stance! This anti-stance should take away your reporting credentials; regardless of who you are so anti about. You should remain neutral and only be reporting actual facts. We should all take the wait and see approach as we have NO IDEA what is really going on behind the scenes. Including bloggers.
Well NHL Live had the head of Versus on and he said that Versus was NOT asking for a penny more in carriage fees and they wanted VS to stay in the same tier that they were in before. But that Direct wanted the option to move VS to another tier I would assume that would be a higher cost tier. Now the VS guy did not say which tier Direct wanted to move them to but there is a lot of speculation on the sports tier which if I understand is at least $12 extra.
