Versus and DirecTV Reach Deal; WEC, UFC Return for Subscribers
Versus, the cable home of World Extreme Cagefighting that will also broadcast select UFC events beginning this Sunday, is back on DirecTV, after the companies ended an extended standoff on Monday by reaching an agreement on a new deal that will see Versus “return to the same DirecTV programming packages it was in at the end of August 2009″, according to a press release.
In September, Versus and it’s WEC programming were dropped from the satellite provider after they failed to come to terms on a new contract. The dispute has since waged on for months, far longer than originally expected, but a deal has finally been reached, allowing Versus to return to DirecTV in time for Sunday’s “UFC on Versus: Vera vs. Jones” event.

Now you’ll be made to watch him not do it! : )
Glad to see this particular MMA-related p!ssing contest come to an end, as long as the winners are the fans…
Any idea which package tier this will return to? Versus used to be on the choice-extra package which is a little bit higher than your standard channel package.
From the article: “a new deal that will see Versus ‘return to the same DirecTV programming packages it was in at the end of August 2009′,”
Ok, i have bell express-vu, i am thinking i don’t get versus?

I guess they going to show it on SCR TV here in Canada , but not sure 100% , have to double check it.
On directv, it is going back on the choice-extra (and above) package. I just called them.
