Has anyone noticed that there seems to be a complete shutting out of any showing of any episodes of American chopper. Is this possibly a ploy to starve the two sides in a contractual negoiation to make both sides start to work with each other.
I myself find it rather odd that a company is willing to lose so much viewership by not showing any episodes of AC. To me it is precieved as a lock-out because Paulie didn't play ball.
I believe they have played episodes a few times, although maybe they were on Destination America rather than Discovery.
Paulie does want to play ball anyway - he had a whole twitter campaign where he wanted people to contact Discovery in support of a PJD only show. Obviously without a TV show he doesn't have much of a client base.
I brought it up before, but nobody knows what the contract really is. Discovery knows showing the program promotes their business, and they might also have royalties in the deal when the shows are replayed, unlike the amish and fastnloud that just play over and over.

There was one weekend that I know of. For the past month I've not be able to watch to see if they were on Dest American.
It's a shame that the adults in this situation cannot come to the table to resolve it. It is truly a shame that they are hurting each others bottom line by their actions. Since Histories netoworks on Mon nights are beating the dogsnot out of anything DSC has as programming on Mon Evenings.
I know myself, of mon nights my programming is either Top gear(BBC) or Pickers and Pawn Stars, or I think they also moved Storage Wars(A&E-history) on Mon nights also.
