Time Warner losing MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, Spike, etc.

glad I steal cable from comcast.

What's the big deal, again? I don't watch most of those channels and I probably wouldn't even notice if they're off the air. Actually, they should just cancel those MTVs permanently.

The poors are going to revolt, you know. Little Jane can't watch Spongebob and Angsty Laura will be unable to watch Made or True Life.

 

[why]

Damn. No more reruns of Pop Up Video.

The only chanel I'd miss out of those is Comedy Central.

We are toying w/ the idea of cable once the new regs go into effect this year (something to do w/ HDTV?

).....

Well, looks like I'll be canceling my service as soon as Direct TV can come out and install everything.

I'm not too upset over this, as I ******* hated TWC anyways. My cable always goes out, HDMI cables do not work correctly with their cable box, they bill me for things I've never ordered on PPV (3 or 4x now), crappy customer support, etc, etc.

Don't have time warner here so don't mind.

Sounds like a silly spat between two corporate giants that will eventually get resolved once the haggling process draws out for so long that it starts to hurt both corporate giants' bottom lines.

Much ado about not much.

Looks like they worked something out, because I still get all these channels.
