Recently The Weather Channel has been taken off DirecTV. Just like typical channel contract negotiations, The Weather Channel is asking for DirecTV customers to call and demand for the return of the channel. This is not the right thing to do.
Whenever channel negotiations happen and the channel is then removed, it is always because they want more money for their content. Then companies like DirecTV want to keep their cost down and will try to keep the money they pay down to keep your bill down. With calling and demanding the channel back, it provides evidence for channels to demand more money. Which will cause your bill to rise.
Do not call to demand the channel. Let the negotiations continue on their own and hope that your bill doesn’t increase. There are other outlets for the Weather, Google, Bing, Weather Underground, The Weather Channel, and Weather Bug are just some websites to name a few.
