DirecTV no longer "saving shows"

[fatediesel]

DirecTV has announced it will no longer pick up new episodes of shows that have been canceled by other networks and will instead focus on producing original shows or acquiring foreign shows for the 101. DirecTV picked up Damages after it was canceled by FX and saved Friday Night Lights from cancellation when it entered an agreement with NBC to show new episodes first, which has led to fan campaigns from fans for DirecTV to pick up canceled shows like Lone Star, Rubicon, and potentially Terriers. The 101 will continue to air some programming from premium channels like HBO and Showtime as a way to promote the subscription channels.
