Let’s see. Fox is the channel of Oprah, American Idol, House MD, Simpson, So You Think You Can Dance, 24, and other shows. Who is stupid enough to drop a bunch of shows that dominated the ‘air waves’ through out the year?

News Corp warned that testy carriage negotiations with Time Warner Cable
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I wonder if this is why Fox muzzled its talk show hosts on Obama’s birth certificate and natural born status.

This is only a game of corporate chicken. Each side is waiting for the other to get nervous and cave.

Time Warner would lose large numbers of subscribers and Fox would lose tons of advertising dollars.

They will work out a deal.

Yet another reason to dump Time Warner Cable

I'd dump them in a heartbeat if I could...

The city where I live gave TWC a monopoly: No other cable providers. And they won't allow Verizon or AT&T to run fiber, so there's nothing other than DSL, and I'm too far from the CO... I need high speed Internet for my work, and that means I only have one choice (satellite latency is too great for our VPN).

If they dump Fox News, I'll cut back to the bare minimum for cable.

WE have time warner there is really no other choice here. If they did this I would cancel my cable because the only thing I do watch besides Foxnews are a few shows on Fox network.

could leave viewers unable to see programing from its Fox broadcast network, including it blockbuster hit "American Idol" and NFL football

Mr Jane Fonda isn’t one I’d expect to like Fox News.

If they cancel Fox we are gonna cancel Time Warner and go with Dish Network. Sick and tired of Time Warner. They are OVERPRICED, we pay 110.00 bucks a month for cable and the internet and we hardly get any damn channels. We have digital cable in the Den and the rest of the rooms have regular cable, they already removed the weather channel, family channel and oxygen from our TV, and the only way to get it back is if we get digital boxes in all the rooms, screw them. I can live without the weather channel, but NO fox..NO WAY..that would be the last straw for me. Whoever here has Dish Network, are you all happy with it?
