I again checked that poll at
www.soapoperafan.comIt looks like 25% of Passions' core audience is already committed to watching the show on Direct TV.
It you do the math, that's about a half million viewers~~HUGE numbers for a Direct TV exclusive.
And it's only 48 hours since the Direct deal was made, the numbers could grow!
Passions' status could change from a bomb to a hit!
(though I always felt it's 2 million daily USA viewers, plus millions more in other countries, hardly makes it the bomb NBC feels it is!!)
I guess if I get Direct TV's bare bones Family Pack & drop my Starz/Encore channels from Dish, I could do both.
So, can we get a movement going to get DS on Direct TV's
Original Programming Channel?
Or on Showtime Beyond?
