What happened to Fox Deportes?

[SamCdbs]

I get the Sports Pack with DirecTV but not any Spanish packages. I have always got Fox Deportes (channel 624). Now it shows up as "not suscribed". DirecTV website no longer lists this channel in any English package.

While I don't really speak Spanish, I could dope out a ball game. I certainly enjoyed that they had the Spanish (and thus McCarver free) version of Fox baseball games, often a different game from my local Fox's regionalized selection.

Was this announced somewhere?
