DISHTV has yanked all Viacom Channels
Janet's nipple has sooo much to answer for.
(BTW she's "appearing" on Saturday Night Live on April 10th)
I think this is just Viacom's way of negociating more money, but DishTV are going to lose customers.
What about DirecTV ? Are they one in the same ?

DISH Network sincerely regrets that all MTV, BET, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and VH1 programming is currently unavailable. Viacom owned CBS stations are also unavailable at this time.
These channels and CBS stations, owned by Viacom, have proposed excessive rate increases which we feel are unreasonable. Viacom is demanding rate increases nearly 4 times the rate of inflation for various cable channels, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars in fees that would increase the cost of our services to you.

Similar thing is happening with our cable company. They keep showing adverts about how ESPN is asking for too much money and although they will keep showing it, if it gets too much they will make it a premium channel.
