Members Soapsuds Posted July 18, 2013 Members Share Posted July 18, 2013 Say Goodbye to CBS? Time Warner Cable is threatening to drop CBS. Stay informed at KeepCBS.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted July 18, 2013 Members Share Posted July 18, 2013 No goodguys in this dispute. One makes crap TV, the other charges me blind for the crap TV I don't even watch. CBS can go out of business and I don't think it would affect even a minute of my current TV viewing. And Time/Warner are total and complete crooks who will find a way of raising the price on to me.

Members VirginiaHamilton Posted July 19, 2013 Members Share Posted July 19, 2013 Riddle me this, folks: how in the hell did Time Warner devolve into such a clusterfuck since I last had it 10 years ago? I never once had a problem with it when I was a customer, but I've heard so many complaints about the bad reception, shitty customer service, and high prices that I have to wonder just what happened between 2003 and 2013. The same way Cablevision dropped ABC a few years back on Oscar night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted August 2, 2013 Members Share Posted August 2, 2013 I wonder if CBS will stop putting thieir shows on their website, HULU...No Y&R, B&B or Under The Dome until the dispute is settled. And no Leterman! As of now, this doesn't effect me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted August 2, 2013 Members Share Posted August 2, 2013 Not going to happen. Do that and they stand to lose all the revenue they make off of ads and online partners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted August 2, 2013 Members Share Posted August 2, 2013 This is the network I watch the least, but I'm still shocked by this.. I can't wrap my head around it. I don't have TWC, but this is still wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted August 3, 2013 Members Share Posted August 3, 2013 Those fee increases would end up passed on to the customers and TWC doesn't want to lose any customers. This sort of thing happened with FOX, when they demanded more money, although the blackout was avoided. Fees should not be charged for over the air stations, since you can pick them up with an HD Antenna for the most part. TWC is in the right here.

Members alphanguy74 Posted August 3, 2013 Members Share Posted August 3, 2013 I would think CBS would WANT people to be angry with TWC, that would mean more and more people cutting the cable, and using netfilx and antenna combo... that means less competition for their programs on CBS if people aren't vieweing the other BS cable channels.

Members ChitHappens Posted August 3, 2013 Members Share Posted August 3, 2013 I read CBS' statement, and if I didn't know better, I'd swear they were the victims here. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted August 3, 2013 Members Share Posted August 3, 2013 TWC blocked it's subscribers from CBS online as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted August 3, 2013 Members Share Posted August 3, 2013 That's different than taking their shows offline. TWC customers are effected but not anyone else. They would never completely end that revenue stream and piss off their online partners (whom they have deals with) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
