Every thread here is about FS1

And people are blowing up AT&T U-Verse Twitter about it too. This should force AT&T to write FS1 a check to satisfy all the customers. But it won't. And just wait until June ends at Showtime channels all go dark. That's when the $ hit is really going to hit the fan. They might lose a million subs!

In fairness, there are quite a few FS1 threads popping up.  Unfortunately, none of them are very likely to exact any changes.  And calm down about Showtime...I doubt it will get as far as it going black.  There will be a new deal done, either from UVerse or from DirecTV if the merger is finalized.  My hope is that a DirecTV negotiator will also end the FS1 saga as well...but we will see.

Well, lessee, 11 total posts for the OP and the majority of them are on something 1) very well documented in FS1 and the others on something that probably won't happen, with Showtime.  FS1 is something that FOX sprang upon U-Verse, mid contract.  FS1 has also blown up AT&T's Facebook page.  While Showtime might be like Hallmark or NHL; it will most likely go smoothly like the other 600+ channel negotiations go.  Besides Comcast, all providers have issues with some channels.  Local WTHR 13 is crying that Dish might pull the plug at 8:20 AM, lol.

Well, when new threads get started on an almost-daily basis because this forum software is so ridiculous and practically begs users to start redundant threads, it sure seems like it.

I do think it's rather peculiar how other providers seemed to negotiate a deal for FS1 with no issues. We haven't even heard a peep of anything negative happening with DirectDishCastWarner.

No I do get that.  It's time for a deal.  It's just that FOX has been down this road before.
