There should be lots of bars that have the game on. At least I hope so or I will be listening on the radio.
DirecTV cut Versus - Bad News for ISU
- Thread starter Melvin
- Start date
Versus is basically trying to extort DirecTV because they spent a bunch of money on acquiring rights to NHL, tour de France and a bunch of other stuff. They want money out of DirecTV because this is their first major re-negotiation since acquiring said rights. DirecTV doesn't have a problem paying the price, but doesn't want to leave Versus on the same tier they are currently on because it would mean a rate increase for all of their customers.
Versus doesn't want that, and so there is a bit of an impasse. I think I'll side with DirecTV on this one, just as I sided with Mediacom on the Big Ten Network ordeal.

Anyone know of a bar or restaurant in Ames that has mediacom or Dish? Most places I have been to watch a game have Directv.
I'll probably see if it's on Watch Online tv sports news and entertainment for free at channelsurfing
This...I know for a fact Trophy's is showing the game and most do have Mediacom as well as mentioned above.
If I'm not mistaken, you have made comments in the past that DirecTV is a premium over Dish Network because they don't get into contract disputes with channels. Granted, I agree with everything you say, but it seems like DirecTV being a "premium" should mean they just pay the price and move on.
If I'm thinking of someone else, I apologize.
You are probably thinking of me because I have made that argument and I am dismayed by this situation.
However...my sister happens to have Dish and she lives close soooo not too annoyed.
I love Versus, they have some great hunting shows and alot of other sports that normally wouldn't be on TV. I probably have about 5 or 6 different shows on series recording on my DVR from Vs.
