I don't know about that but when I would put the blue bar on the channel is would say about the owner of the channel wants 30% (1 billion More) to carry the same channels....

OH MY GOD....Dish beat Directv on bringing back stations
oh wait...it was some locals that they brought back (and had a 10 day head start)

more so than they already do?
When I stated that they will rerun the crap out of them, I was saying that based upon what they have done in the past. They will just do it again.

I think Directv knows that if they don't stand up to Viacom then the others are going to want significant increases as well, that this has to stop somewhere.
Looks like they have completely broken off
Viacom says talks with DirecTV have broken down - latimes.com
"In an interview, Denise Denson, Viacom Inc.'s executive vice president of content distribution, said the media giant was no longer in negotiations with DirecTV Inc. over a deal to return its cable networks to the satellite broadcaster's service. "I really don’t see any end in sight, truthfully,""

In another part of the article it states ...
"They have not ever engaged in negotiations," she said, adding that while the satellite company is telling people it is standing up for its customers, in reality "they are making a statement to their investors and shareholders."
So basically, if that is true, Directv is lying when they said they came close to getting a deal done or Viacom is lying.

I wonder which side is telling the truth and I believe Directv more than Viacom and we shall see who is

I don't see why V* returned programing back on the internet if they don't have a deal that's close. That didn't prove anything if they're not close. I'd say this is still V* trying to stick it to D* for the drop in ratings, and all the bad press they've received.
DIRECTV ?@DIRECTV
Viacom’s current statement on our negotiations is completely inaccurate #DIRECTVHasMyBack
I think more than anything we're seeing Viacom try and spin things to get a least a little sympathy and try and even out the PR a little. Like most things the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

DirecTV has confirmed that Epix is the holdup in this whole situation.
DIRECTV Viacom Updates
"Viacom’s current statement on our negotiations is completely inaccurate. They made a proposal last night for our carriage of the 17 channels they pulled from DIRECTV and we accepted all material terms for those channels including an increase that was more than fair. We are ready to close this deal at anytime and restore those channels to our customers.
However, as part of that offer, Viacom insists that we carry the EPIX channel at an additional cost of more than half a billion dollars. We know our customers don’t want to pay such an extreme price for an extra channel, they simply want the ones they had returned to them. We stand ready and willing to work with Viacom to get this done and, once again, ask Viacom to do the right thing and restore these channels to our customers immediately."
