There are not very many things I get huffy about, but I recently found out that my satellite provider will no longer be airing any Fox or Fox affiliated channels. Normally I'd be like "big deal, not like I watch that anyway", but it is a big deal. This Tuesday, November 1st, I will no longer be able to watch American Horror Story on FX. Then, later in the year, local fox channels will be taken off the air. That means no Bones, House, Terra Nova, and Fringe on Fox, and no shows from UPN. I am not very happy about this. Granted I primarily watch CBS because "CBS cares", but I DO watch all those other listed shows. Well not House so much, I really don't like what his character has become.
Anyway, please feel free to go to these websites and decide for yourself who is telling the truth.

I don't know what exactly will happen on November 1st, but at this time where our country is in a recession, do companies really think they have the right to ask for more money for the same product? It's not fair to us, the common folk that just want to enjoy a little television after the little people stop running around screaming! (You know who I mean)
Addendum: As of today (11/2/11) FX is reporting that Direct TV and NewsCorp/Fox have come to an agreement and will not be going off the air. Yay!
