Time Warner to cut Daily Show and Colbert starting tonight!

[elizm]

If you live in New York state, the Carolinas, Ohio, Southern California or Texas call today and protest!

Media giant Viacom Inc. said its Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central and 16 other channels will go dark for 13 million subscribers at 12:01 a.m. Thursday if a new carriage fee deal with Time Warner Cable is not agreed upon by then.

2. It's just giant companies playing chicken again

Things will get settled, economics will force them to come to some arrangment. Meanwhile those of us who will be inconvenience will just have to read a book or something.

3. And what are all the other shows? Chopped Liver?

6. My 5 year old granddaughter...

Will be heartbroken about her Noggin shows. :(

4. Dish did the same thing a few years back

not sure if they won that fight or had to give in.

5. eh, makes me glad I got rid of cable

I miss those shows sometimes, but I can watch them online

7. Their service sucks

So if I lose the only show I watch (Jon Stewart) it will just make it easier to ditch their sorry bums as I've been meaning to for far too long.

Time Warner is lame.

But for those with no alternative, don't worry, I'm sure the big boys will make a last minute deal.

I'm switching to HD antenna tho.....

8. Oh, but they FINALLY gave us BRAVO channel in the Triangle area of NC!

You get it at the beach; you get it in the mountains; we've been asking since 2000 when we moved here
and they act like whooppee, look what we're doing for you!

Time Warner a$$holes.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. I have Cablevision in my part of NY, thank goodness.

10. seems like a concerted effort to silence left-of-center voices

see my post on WTIC AM 1080 in Hartford canning their two most popular on-air hosts, and the only two Democrats they had on air.
