DirecTV and Comcast owned cable channels really need some sort of counseling. In the fall of 2009, Comcast owned VERSUS went dark on DirecTV and was off DirecTV until the spring of 2010. This fall, DirecTV removed the Comcast owned G4 channel and word comes out tonight that the Comcast owned Golf Channel is in jeopardy of going dark on DirecTV due to a carriage dispute.
When VERSUS went dark on DirecTV, hockey fans were up in arms over the dispute. Will golf fans have the same reaction? Golf Channel airs alot of the 1st and second rounds of numerous PGA events and in some instances, Golf Channel airs all 4 rounds in addition, Golf Channel is the home of the Champions Tour.
