I’ve been a adelphia/TW subscriber since the day I moved out of the ‘rents house 10yrs ago. If we lose these channels for any longer than a week, this will be the last straw for me. I’m am not a fan of dish but there is no other alternative. FiOs won’t be here till mid 09’ at earliest.

I wonder who is at fault here, is time warner fighting for lower channel fees so they can pass it on to the customer? Or is time warner unwilling to give the channels a fair share? My guess is time warner is being greedy because you dont see any problems with any other cable carriers.

no

> Viacom has asked for fee increases of between 22 and 36 percent per channel, adding up to tens of millions of dollars per year, an amount that could increase customers’ cable bills, Dudley said.

The only channels on that list that I’m worried about is Comedy Central and maybe Spike and I rarely only watch that for the CSI reruns. I’m almost glad the other ones are leaving…less clutter on the guide.
