Oh man. I have been happy with Roadrunner Internet. Nice bundle. But DirecTV does a better TV job I think, wonder if I can still keep the internet?

they raised internet another 2 dollars a month which makes it now almost 50.00 a month when it used to be 43.00 back in 2006. I am likely going back to dsl.

TWC is the main provider in NYC (Manhattan). I wan’t them to tell their subscribers that you can’t watch the NYGiants this or next Sunday...

The funny part is that Time Warner will be the ones who suffer as they loose a TON of subscribers if they drop FOX.

"But there is a "very likely possibility that Time Warner Cable may choose to no longer carry Fox Broadcasting, Fox Cable and Fox regional sports programing," Fox said."

And Time Warner Cable will find itself getting dumped by millions of subscribers.

Ummm... I think FOX may be the bad guy in this one.

FOX wants to charge them $1 per subscriber for their FREE, OVER-THE-AIR local channel. FOX charges other cable companies about 25 cents per subscriber.

FOX is demanding 4 times as much as they have in the past (and who do you think will pay that in increased cable bills?)

You definitely want to short this stock if this is the case. It is funny how these liberal corporations are just imploding.

I'm very happy with Time Warner Cable.
If they dump Fox, I'll simply get an antennae (for free like last time) from TWC and use it to toggle back and forth when I want to watch Fox.

I question why there is advertising on cable channels at all? I PAY to watch these channels so why do I have to endure pointless commercials? I also pay sirius radio and don’t have to endure ads there.

Retransmission agreements are an extra charge to the cable provider. The cable provider will just raise everybody’s rate.

I have dish network basic package which is mostly not worth watching but I live too far away for an antenna. The local cable provider charges about $70 per month for their “basic digital” package which is 70 channels with 22 shopping or church channels, 15 music channels - what a joke.

And I disagree with retransmission agreements. It is free over the air so why charge the cable company to carry it?

I don’t have Time Warner, but it wouldn’t take much for me to dump cable TV altogether and go to a subscription only model, watching what I want to see on Hulu and downloading other programming from online outlets like Microsoft or Amazon.
