Does anyone know exactly why the soap opera "Passions" is moving exclusively to Directv?

I know it's corny, but I've watched this show since the very first episode. I'm a little irritated that I have to switch from cable to directv to continue watching it. I've heard rumors that I won't be able to view it online anymore after they make the switch. Are they trying to get the show cancelled or something?

I used to have directv and it was nice, but I had to switch to cable becuase I live in a condo and you can't have a dish there. I also can't get dsl where I live so I'm stuck with roadrunner. That means if I cancel my cable service, the cost of my roadrunner will skyrocket. This REALLY sucks - anyone know what's going on??

NBC just straight up cancelled the show, so originally there were no plans to renew the contract; then rabid fans rallied to have it returned, so then it went from cancelled to shopping around for a new network (including on-line channels) And in April it was announced that Direct TV picked up the show and the new season will be part of the channels original lineup. NBC will definitely not air the show online once it switches over, and right now there's no word of who will stream it (unless someone Youtubes it)

I know, it's jacked up, ain't it? You're not alone. I barely get to watch the episodes now, because while I'm at school I miss the episodes. It's hard enough for me to get a computer around the house to watch these last final eps.( my 2 brothers and 1 sister and 2 computers. 1 my mom uses and the other, we share). It's real jacked up. I mean, they won't even put one single soap on a website so people like us can either miss out on it or by the directv. It would make it a lot easier for some people and it wold make them/us a lot happier. But I guess these days, the only happy they care about is that green paper in their pocket that they're hustling from people like us just to watch one simple EPISODE! But, once Passions ends Sept, 7 that Friday, next Monday Sept 10, the Ellen Degeneres show will be airing the whole hour Passions use to air. I mean, you find something that occupys you, and they pull the **** right from under you!!! %26gt;_%26lt;
NBC is expanding the TODAY show to 4 hours/day. It begins on the east coast at 7 a.m. and will run until 11:a.m. NBC canceled Passions to get the extra hour. Sucks, doesn't it?
NBC cancelled it! I wanna cry too! I can't afford internet and DTV!!!
My guess is ratings. I've been watching from day one as well I just hope it has a proper ending since I would be watching on DirecTV. ^_^ DJ
NBC cancelled the show eariler this yr- the fact is that Passion was the Lowest Rated soap since it started and only did well in the teen age group- Low ratings mean the show did NOT make enough $$$ to NBC to keep making it-

Info about the move can be found at the offical Passions site at NBC.com

Remember TV is a FOR Profit Business they are there to make $$$$- if a show doesn't get ratings and makes $$ it get Cancellled-- it's Show BUSINE$$
I HEARD ON TV THEY WERE I HOPE THEY DO.....
