When WSS first dropped Direct and everyone went nuts, my real honest-to-god inside source sent me this:

There is a lot going on behind the scenes. We are expermenting with different ways to maximize our growth. We found that sales were higher on cable homes than DirectTV - which is very expensive to broadcast on which led to our decision to drop DirectTV. Nothing more, nothing less to the story.

BTW: if you want to check on availability of WSS on cable in your area, go to their Program Guide page online, type in your zip code in the box at the top.

I tried that and the cable company they list has told me that they do not carry WSS. I'll have to rely on your blow by blow account of what is on the program. Maybe you can record it on DVD and FedEx it to everyone. That'll keep you busy.:D
