Viacom and Directv need to stop acting like little kids, and get their fact together. Nick needs to regain its crown from disney.
acts* not “fact”.
@Nathan (NR2012) I agree even though I am a Disney fan, I sort of agree I want Disney to completely beat nickelodeon fairly not because of this disagreement with direct tv:) but anyway go Disney
@Natha, why do you Nick fans act like Nick would beat Disney with DirecTv coustomers, they’d still only be even in households, Disney could still beat them even, nick’s not better, for the last couple weeks Disney beat Nick fairly, so why would it change?
@Disney rocks You stated that “I’m sorry for getting out of hand, I think that, even though I do think Disney is a better network than Nick, that we need to stop this argument and acknowledge that both Disney and Nick have good-rated shows”. I’m not going to start another argument with you over Nickelodeon. I’m not that immature. I have my opinions, you have yours. When will you learn that, disney rocks?
@Disneyrocks I’m sorry if my recent comment came out in a “disrespectful” way. I’m sorry. And you’re right, it wouldn’t change when directv gets Nickelodeon back. I’m sorry.
@Nathan, let’s just stop our argument and leave our opinions to ourself.
I don’t watch these channels so i can’t say if the drop their reporting is legit.

Washington, D.C. (July 17, 2012) — Yesterday’s news that Viacom channels such as MTV and Nickelodeon have plunged in the ratings since they were pulled from DIRECTV could help bring the DIRECTV/Viacom impasse to a quicker resolution.
Read more here.
The Los Angeles Times reports that on July 10, the last day Nickelodeon was on DIRECTV, its daily audience was 1.8 million. However, that number fell to 1.2 million the next day, the first day the channel was not on DIRECTV’s airwaves. By July 13, the channel was garnering about 1.3 million.
The Times also writes that MTV’s day average fell from 500,000 on July 10 to 273,000 on July 13, a 43 percent decline, while VHI has fallen 30 percent and Comedy Central is down 21 percent.
