Time Warner you morons!

What an awful way to ring in 2009. It turns out that Viacom claims it has been trying to negotiate a "fair" renewal of its prized cable channels for months and months, but reputedly Time Warner Cable has been unresponsive and "unreasonable" so talks have stalled. The nation's 2nd largest cable system operator, in turn, claims Viacom is asking for "exorbitant" increases in carriage fees which would have to be passed along to the customer. So now this fight between the two Big Media giants will hurt cable viewers. At 12:01 AM on January 1st, just after the ball drops in Time Square, Time Warner Cable's 13.3 million subscribers will lose 19 Viacom channels -- Comedy Central; CMT: Pure Country; Logo; Palladia; MTV; MTV 2; MTV Hits; MTV Jams; MTV Tr3s; Nickelodeon; Noggin; Nick 2; Nicktoons; Spike; The N; TV Land; Vh1; Vh1 Classic; Vh1 Soul.

We've jumped back between Dish Network and Direct TV.
Then we switched to Time Warner not too long ago.
Luckily, I only watch one of those channels. Lol.
Well, two. But I don't watch the other too often.

Good thing I don't have Time Warner, that's all the good channels.....

[Samus-Fan]

We have Direct TV, but our actual cable is Time Warner. We have DTV for the channels, I dunno how it works.
Lol, those are all the good channels. Why wouldn't they respond or am I mis-reading? Lol

I think it's that Viacom is asking for to much money to put there stations on Time Warner. So, Time Warner isn't going to pay that much and Viacom is leaving and taking there channels with them.

[Blah Blah Blah]

thats no reason for time warner to give out limited responses, that can be frustrating on the other company
