Default Pax removed from Direct TV

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.

You can read some of the reaction here

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

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.
