The deadline to make a deal between Versus and DirecTV has passed and Versus is no longer apart of DirecTV. The issue here is that Versus is owned by Comcast which is a competitor of DirecTV. DirecTV says the ratings are too low for the price they are paying for Versus. This is similar to the standoff the Big Ten Network had. The network shows NHL, College football and the WEC. This is will suck big time if a deal is never made because the Stanley Cup playoffs are shown on Versus.  Hopefully a deal can be made quickly.
