Direct TV is dropping 26 Viacom channels, including Spike TV as of tonight. That means 20 million homes won't have access to TNA. That's not good. The rating this week will be interesting.

 

Unless this is a different case, this kind of shite goes on weekly in the US - it's brinksmanship from both networks and distributors, to force a compromise. No way that Direct TV is going forward for long without MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon, so I wouldn't be too concerned.
