[Andy_B]

The Pax national feed will no longer be a part of Direct TV's lineup as of 9/26/02.

Just wanted to post this as it could affect WUSA fans who have Direct TV

To all NYC Time Warner cable subscribers...The only reason Channel 31 (PAX here in NYC) was watched for about a year was when FoxSportsWorld was on from like 8am-12am.

I am sorry I do not. The information was contained in a message with the latest Direct TV bills.

Well I just got off the phone with a DirecTV customer rep. :mad: Here is the thread I started in the WUSA forum that recaps what he told me:

What? No more Holy Animal Rescue Miracle Magic Tales hosted by Alan Thicke? NO MORE TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL RERUNS?!? oh, yeah, and wusa...
oh well, i programed to auto-skip PAX from day one of its "Christian family entertainment" inception.

I suspect PAX's efforts to garner local affiliates is part of the reason. One of the low power UHF stations carries PAX programming. It is also part of the local channel package for Raleigh-Durham on DirecTV. While I lose the national PAX feed, I'll still get PAX (whether I want it or not).

This move does not surprise me. At some point I would expect the national feed of Univision to go away, too.

That's why MLS will never allow Ante Razov and Jason Kreis to be on the same team.

Yep. From the storm above the All-Star game at RFK Stadium.
(perhaps from the bad halftime performance) ;)

I can see the end of soccer in America. My concern is that America will ingnore soccer if women,s soccer can,t be seen on PAX channel on cable outlets.What a shock.

I work at DIRECTV and haven't heard anything about PAX being canceled. Sounds like another attempt cable to people switch TV providers.

I post another reply after I get more information.
