- Friday, July 20, 2012, 10:27 AM Viacom (VIAB +0.8%) will get more than $600M/year from DirecTV (DTV -0.3%) in programming fees under their new seven-year agreement, up at least 20% from the previous terms, Bloomberg reports. The deal, which ended a 10-day blackout for the satellite TV service’s 20M U.S. viewers, was announced this morning without giving terms. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Friday, July 20, 2012, 7:11 AM DirecTV (DTV) agrees to restore Viacom's (VIA) networks to its 20M U.S. subscribers after a programming blackout that lasted more than a week. Financial details of the agreement weren't disclosed. (PR) Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Wednesday, July 18, 2012, 5:51 PM Shortly after DirecTV (DTV) expresses optimism it can reach a deal with Viacom (VIA), Viacom posts a statement accusing DirecTV of "moving backwards significantly" on negotiations. While customers fume, Disney (DIS) reaps the benefits. At what point do consumers start responding to these "showdowns" by demanding a la carte programming, which could let them decide on their own whether a 30% fee hike for a particular channel is "fair?" Apple sure wouldn't mind. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, July 18, 2012, 7:40 AM DirecTV (DTV) says it's closer to working out a deal that will see 26 Viacom (VIA) channels return back to its list of programming. In a blog post yesterday, Viacom walked the fine line between giving customers full access to shows online and alienating fans by keeping new episodes in limbo. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, July 13, 2012, 1:26 PM DirecTV (DTV +1.6%) says it worked out an agreement with Disney (DIS +1.4%) to add Disney Junior to its programming lineup starting tomorrow. It's interesting timing for the deal, with about 20M DirecTV subscribers currently losing out on kid show characters such as SpongeBob SquarePants due to a squabble with Viacom. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, July 12, 2012, 1:06 PM Is Viacom (VIA -1.5%) fiddling while the traditional TV landscape is burning? After average cable rates rose 7.2% over the last year, the company is asking DirecTV (DTV -0.9%) for a "fair" 30% increase to air its networks at the same time it allows many of its shows to be carried on outlets such as Amazon and Netflix. DirecTV is losing the PR battle so far (which Viacom is probably counting on) as customers blame the company for pulling the plug on networks in the stalemate, but appears to be using this particular dispute to draw a line in the sand. 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 2:13 PM DirecTV (DTV -0.4%) and Viacom (VIA -0.5%) engage in an elevated war of words that doesn't do much productively for either company as Dora, SpongeBob, and Jon Stewart stay in limbo for 20M. One of the issues in play according to DirecTV CEO Mike White is that Viacom content on Netflix makes it hard for the company to pass on any price hikes, while Viacom accuses DirecTV of using customers as pawns. Previous: (Hulu and NFLX benefit from cable/satellite/network bickering) 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 5:32 AM DirecTV's (DTV) almost 20M subscribers last night lost access to 17 Viacom (VIA) networks, including Nickelodeon, MTV and Comedy Central, after the satellite broadcaster dropped the channels because of a failure of the two companies to forge a new deal over carriage fees. The dispute follows a fight between Dish and AMC Networks in June. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, July 10, 2012, 8:14 AM A showdown between DirecTV (DTV) and Viacom (VIA) over carriage fees reaches an impasse after the companies can't work out a last-minute deal. Though Viacom has publicly stated that DirecTV might drop all of its channels as of midnight tonight, DirecTV says (tweet) it has no intention of taking the dramatic action. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, July 6, 2012, 3:03 PM DirecTV (DTV -0.3%) could be a good bet now that prevailing pessimism has helped to beat down shares to reasonable valuations, according to the WSJ. On the positive side of the ledger, the company generates over $2B in free cash flow and is seeing surging growth in Latin America. And while margin pressure is a very real concern, DirecTV has been discounting less and targeting customers that provide better potential for profits. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, June 27, 2012, 2:35 PM The Supreme Court won't hear a request by DirecTV (DTV +0.1%) to rule on a 2010 decision in Ohio over a sales tax that applies to satellite companies but not cable rivals. DirecTV pays about $44M a year under the discussed tax. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, June 25, 2012, 2:51 PM The DoJ has requested information from DirecTV (DTV -1.5%) and Dish Network (DISH -4.5%) about pricing contracts with TV networks as part of its wider probe into whether or not cable companies are pressuring programmers to set pricing that intentionally squeezes online content providers such as Netflix (NFLX -0.5%) and Hulu. (Related: Cable companies contend they run their own "private" Internet) Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, June 22, 2012, 2:36 PM DirecTV (DTV +1.1%) cuts short its plan to develop a 24-hour channel dedicated to 3D programming, saying it will convert the channel to a landing point for part-time programming such as the 2012 Summer Olympics. The company struggled to find enough content to fill out the 24/7 3D format and ratings weren't overwhelming. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, June 15, 2012, 7:50 AM DirecTV (DTV) will try its hand at original programming with new cop show Rouge, as it keeps a focus on margins that keep shrinking. The company already offers exclusive content for shows such as Damages and Friday Night Lights that were originally broadcast on traditional networks. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, June 14, 2012, 4:05 PM Culling through the list of applications for new Internet domain suffixes reveals that Dish Network (DISH) applied for the right to use the web addresses .direct and .dtv. Though the move by Dish could be purely defensive in order to protect future products, it's also interesting to note that DirecTV (DTV) doesn't plan to challenge the applications. Could a merger between the two digital TV providers be in the works? 2 Comments [Consumer]

DirecTV (DTV) is too expensive of a plan compared to Dish Network (DISH). Chemical companies like W.R. Grace (GRA) are very profitable. - View all 0 replies
