Fox and Local Cable co, (Time Warner) are in battle right now - because Fox (so TWC claims) wants increase of 300% in payment from TWC for the privilege of carrying (certain) Fox Channels on local cable.
TWC says negotiations are ongoing but that if Fox doesn’t give in to a lesser charge for their services, then either the TWC charges will have to zoom upward or they will have to drop Fox.
Fox News is available over the internet and House is, as well.
As I said, if the cost to me goes up, I’ll cancel.
Today I just cancelled my cell phone because I didn’t think it was worth all the hidden charges and fees that Verizon sticks on. Too expensive for the product given.
Fox is playing hard ball now. 24 and American Idol are both around the corner. Fox is expecting their viewers to demand capitulation.
