Is Bloomberg worth the cost? Yes...like indoor plumbing in a slit-trench world.

Losing Bloomberg is unacceptable. I'd swap all of the other 'business' channels for Bloomberg. Bloomberg reports on the entire world. Those other 'business' blowhards think the world ends outside the Wall Street-DC corridor.

Hi @InnisMode Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

We know how important local channels are to our customers that's why now we're under negotiations to renew the agreement with the owner of this broadcast stations.
We are always working to provide our customer the best experience.

Like other TV providers, DirecTV gives you a variety of news channels. It is up to you of those what you watch.

Simply put it was time for their carriage negotiations. Since a new agreement wasn't reached by the time the current one was up, Bloomberg pulled their feed (as is their right). Sure they could have left it on while negotiations continued, but they chose the route of leveraging customers to try and get more money.

Watch other channels in the meantime. Or offer to pay the entire increase the rest of us don't want to pay if you are that desperate for it. Would be more productive than spamming a bunch of logos in your post. That was rather ridiculous.

Not sure what you are complaining about. I only included the message that David, DirecTV Community Specialist, sent me. 

That being said, I still believe the quality of Bloomberg programming exceeds that of the other available options. Try to think of it as choosing between vacationing in Bali or Haiti.

bloomberg is not coming back per another post today

I want to inform we were unable to reach a renewal agreement with Bloomberg TV, meaning it is no longer available in your lineup. We regret any inconvenience and invite you to explore the other financial news outlets to find your new potential favorite.

Santiago, DIRECTV Community Specialist
