Showtime, Starz and HBO are calling foul on the NPD Group report saying subscriptions for premium TV channels have declined six percent over the past two years, while SVOD services have risen four percent. Showtime issued a release Tuesday citing an SNL Kagan study saying that while video services like Netflix have made gains, so has premium cable. BTIG media analyst Richard Greenfield calls the NPD study “meaningless,” posting in his blog on Tuesday, “We believe premium growth has been quite healthy, with absolute premium subscribers now at an all-time high driven by improving quality of content.”

In an increasingly bitter carriage dispute, The Weather Channel chairman and CEO David Kenny took another jab at DirecTV. With TWC off DirecTV since midnight January 14, Kenny wrote an open letter to DirecTV board members – appearing in an ad in newspapers Wednesday – urging the service to let the 90,000 DirecTV subscribers Kenny says have pledged to switch providers “vote with their feet” by waiving termination fees of $200-$400. Responded a spokesperson for DirecTV, “The Weather Channel is so used to dramatizing the weather, they may have lost all sense of reality.”
