Still no Versus on DirecTV

Wisely taking advantage of all the excitement over hockey these days, Versus is loading up with five bonus games during the first week of March.

But what about DirecTV customers, who have been without the station all season due to a stalemate in distribution contract talks?

I asked Versus for an update and was given this statement by a spokesperson:

"At this time, we are not optimistic that an agreement will be in place with DirecTV in time for the start of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs."
