While some cable and satellite companies like Directv dropped one of Americas favorite action channels Versus, Dish Network kept the hit network in their lineup. Thanks to Dish Network being able to put customers first they were able to put a good deal in place to keep the channel, unlike Directv who main concern seems to be the financial gain of the board of directors.

By keeping Versus, Dish Network allows customers to keep watching all of their favorite programming. Besides the NHL Center Ice, and regional sports networks, Versus channel carries the most NHL games per year. Versus is also home to the Tour de France, Hunting and Fishing, Indy Car Series, many top ranked college football games, and live PBR and WEC events.

Although Versus gave Directv the same option as every other cable provider to carry the channel. Directv wanted to put versus in a higher package so that their customers would have to pay more to get the network. By doing so it meant that the 6 million Directv customers that had Versus already included in their lower package would have to increase their package to continue watching their favorite shows.

While Directv keeps over charging loyal customers for less programming, Dish Network continues to bring Versus to loyal customers without any price increase.
