I can tell you that Versus is on what I'd arbitrarily call Digital Basic on AT&T UVerse, WOW! (Detroit), Time Warner (NYC) and DirecTV, and Digital Extended on Dish. The only cable company that Versus is on Extended Basic is Comcast. This is why anyone who argues that a channel is available in x million homes is pushing a red herring. It's how many households actually subscribe to it that matters, and no one wants to give up that information. And I don't think the NHL, some college conferences, and the Tour de France is going to be enough to push a cable company to move a channel *down*.
