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.

This sounds more like pre-negotiation sabre rattling than real threats.
