Dropick delighted to have Versus back on DirecTV

WEC Vice President Peter Dropick has admitted that he is delighted to have Versus back on DirecTV.

Dropick has admitted that they had a ‘downtick’ in the ratings for the shows since Versus was taken off DirecTV.

He told MMAFighting.com: “It’s great news. There was a significant amount of homes, 14 million homes, that didn’t have access to our programming and our live fights, and we’re excited that the issues have been resolved, they flipped the switch and Versus is back on DirecTV.

“We haven’t been disappointed in the ratings. WEC on Versus is still one of their highest-rated programs. But there was a noticeable downtick, which could have been attributed to a variety of reasons, from day of the week to competition, but after a few shows there was a pattern. So we’re pleased we’re back on DirecTV.”
