Viacom is in a fee dispute with Direct-TV and pulled all 17 networks from the satellite provider. Viacom's hope is subscribers will flood Direct-TV with phone calls and emails demanding the return of their favorite Viacom network.
To prove who doesn't care about Direct TV subscribers or fans of the Viacom networks, the content provider has decided to remove most full length episodes from their websites.
Is that move going to force Direct-TV into Viacom's fee increases? No. It will hurt loyal fans of some of Viacom's favorite series like the Daily Show.
Viacom says Direct TV advised subscribers to go to the Viacom-owned websites and watch their favorite shows for free.
That's showing them Viacom. Not hard to see who really only cares about money in this dispute. Broadcasting & Cable
