Okay, I understand that people had issues over the whole Superbowl boob shot, but gezzz give it a rest already!!!! I turn on my TV today only to find out that every channel associated with CBS has been removed from our satalite.
Let's think about this ~
I wouldn't have a problem really if it were just one channel, nor am I upset that MTV is removed, I never watched it anyways. However I am chapped about two of our Disney channels and every Nick channel being removed, the comedy channel and that is when I stopped looking!!!
All I know is they had better adjust my bill accordingly and I don't mean by a stupid dollar either!!! :angry!!!!
Direct TV is looking more like the satalite server to be going towards at this moment as from what I read in this article they still have all their channels up and running with no interuption.
Why punish the public because networks can't have a better handle on taking risky chances on whom they put on stage for such public events. I mean really, when the Osborne's hosted some awards show, there was back lash in regards to the language, but channels just didn't disappear over night. Make the artist who cause such an uproar pay and make restitution again don't in a "corporate" decision decide to remove programing from the public that PAYS for it!!!!
I'm off my soap box!! But yes it really chaps my hide over this ~
I AM NOBODY AND NOBODY IS PERFECT ~ THEREFORE I'M PERFECT!!!
nothing to do with the superbowl, all stations owned by viacom (I think is how you spell it?) upped their prices, and some satellite company's refused to pay and pulled the channels

Yup...T's right.
"As of midnight, DISH dropped BET, Comedy Central, MTV, MTV2, MTV Espanol, Nickelodeon, Nick Games & Sports, Noggin, VH1, VH1 Classic and CBS-HD East and West from its network. DISH also stopped broadcasting CBS channels owned by Viacom........DISH said Viacom had raised its prices by 40 percent over the previous contract..."
