Recently, satellite television provider DirecTV announced it may drop channels from Viacom such as MTV, Nickelodeon, and Comedy Central. Viacom wants $1 billion more (30% more than before) for the same channels. They are also airing adverts that make DirecTV appear as they do not want to continue airing the channels. The Viacom channels affected are some of the most watched cable networks.
Viacom is pressuring providers for a massive price hike that will eventually land on our bills. Email your local representative today and demand they push back against these predatory corporate negotiation tactics.

We hit a major milestone today and the momentum shows that customers are tired of paying more for the same content. Take this link and post it on your Facebook page right now to keep the pressure on Viacom. Email your local representatives today to let them know we will not accept these price hikes.

If they drop Nick and Comedy Central I am done with satellite for good. Cut the prices not the programming.

Why do we always get stuck in the middle of these fights? Just keep the channels on and stop acting like children over money.
