IHA (or whatever its name is) pulled the signal from AP (without warning) from TVG because Hawthorne management had signed an exclusivity contract with with TVG. That meant that other folks who wanted to get the signal had to pay TVG a fee and Youbet said it wouldn't do it. That upset the IHA, so they tried to force TVG to make a special deal with Youbet. TVG gathered up its marbles and said "Fine, you don't want to be on our channel, we can fill the time just fine with other tracks." Cut off the nose to spite the face.
