I have Time Warner, I can give a rats behind about losing The Daily Show(that show is garbage anyway) but I am pissed about losing TV land and Comedy Central because of South Park, sucks, its bad enough Time Warner is gonna raise our bill by 5 bucks in the new year, but getting rid of channels too, maybe we will just switch to Dish Network or Direct TV

We’ve been seeing this on the scroll for our catv (Comcast) all day. Unfortunately SciFi and Nickelodeon are also included in the list of channels. Losing SciFi just as the new BSG season is starting is unacceptable.

Is Colbert related to Patrick Star?

I don’t care about either of them, I’m just happy to hear Spongebob may be off.

TW has been emboldened by seeming to win their fight with the NFL and is now taking on a fight they won’t win. Viacom controls way too many channels that are very popular, the letters are probably already storming in. Expect the NFL to use this to their advantage, TW will lose both fights because they picked one too many.

I'd be happy if they'd just let me buy, say, a dozen channels. Maybe 2 dozen for when I get the urge to stretch a little.

Right now I have hundreds of channels that I neither watch nor listen to (yup, we got radio on TV!). I bet most of America would follow that lead. Even the folks that feel like they're getting a bargain paying twice as much for five times as many channels would realize their mistake soon enough.

The impasse would mean "SpongeBob" and other popular shows like Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" and Stephen Colbert's "The Colbert Report" will be cut off on the nation's second-largest cable operator.

And nothing of value was lost.

If it was Turner Classic Movies and all of the Discovery channels that are being blacked out, then I would be disappointed, but I’m online often anyways.

Time-Lies-Warner-Turner won’t be shedding any tears over silencing the “comedy” news programs on Viacommie’s Comedy Central network.

Talked to Mom today, their satellite company could not reach a deal with the local ABC affiliate to carry local ABC programming, and Mom wants to watch Penn State vs. USC. The old rabbit ears on my brother’s black and white TV are not bringing in a clear signal, anybody know where she might be able to see this online?

Spike is one of the channels. That and a couple others would be missed.
MTV,VH1, etc.... bye-bye. I hope.

Any idea how I can find out if my cable is affected? I went to the main page for my cable company — nothing there.

I don’t care about Comey Central, but my husband will miss Sci Fi

Good riddance to Nickelodeon, the homosexual anti-God indoctrination channel for children.
