Actually it is still there.....
DirecTV to Air ‘Friday Night Lights’
August 5th, 2008 | DIRECTV
So would you subscribe to Direct TV just to watch your favorite TV show?
That’s the hope of the satellite television provider, with their recent agreement to partner with NBC and help pay for the production costs involved in the series Friday Night Lights.
The series, popular with critics, and some viewers will be entering its 3rd season.
Direct TV will begin airing new episodes on its own entertainment channel, “The 101” starting on October 1st. NBC will then begin airing Friday Night Lights in February, 2009.
So while fans of Friday Night Lights will be able to watch episodes for free, they won’t be able to do so until 4 months after they air for the first time on DirecTV. Currently there are 17 million households subscribing to DirecTV.
So what will big time fans of Friday Night Lights do? Will the show entice them to switch over to satellite TV?
Direct TV is betting it can pull in a good number of new subscriptions based on the agreement. While few may switch to Direct TV only because of Friday Night Lights, it could be a contributing factor to others trying to decide between Comcast, DISH Network and DirecTV.
