In Florida, the convective clouds are more super charged than normal this time of year producing more powerful bursts of rain and lightning.

(10,168 posts)in the Green Bay/Fox Cities, WI area and elsewhere over a contract dispute. We watched two pre-season games in Spanish on Telemundo and would have to do that to see the game tonight. My nephew, who lives in Woodside, Long Island also had his NBC cut by TWC. It's in select cities, I guess.
We haven't had NBC or Showtime most of the summer, and no refund or rate adjustment either.

CBS and Time Warner Cable End Contract Dispute
By BILL CARTER
Published: September 2, 2013
CBS and Time Warner Cable ended their protracted contract dispute Monday evening with the announcement of an agreement that restored CBS and its related channels, like Showtime, to millions of cable subscribers largely in three major cities, New York, Los Angeles and Dallas.
...
In a memo to the CBS staff, the corporation president, Leslie Moonves, said, The final agreements with Time Warner Cable deliver to us all the value and terms that we sought in these discussions. We are receiving fair compensation for CBS content and we also have the ability to monetize our content going forward on all the new, developing platforms that are right now transforming the way people watch television.
Glenn Britt, Time Warner Cables chairman and chief executive officer, said in a statement: Were pleased to be able to restore CBS programming for our customers, and appreciate their patience and loyalty throughout the dispute. As in all of our negotiations, we wanted to hold down costs and retain our ability to deliver a great video experience for our customers. While we certainly didnt get everything we wanted, ultimately we ended up in a much better place than when we started.
