Not just Dish

[KAB]

Saw where Showtime and TWC are playing the re-negotiation game with the usual suspension threat.

Yes Dallas CBS 11 is running ads that TWC may drop CBS and also has ads for showtime being dropped.

If this comes to dish AFAIC they can take TWC and shove it. I use the NOAA website for my weather remembering our ex-senator Rick Santorum, who tried to get it shut down, every time I use it.

Showtime, OTOH, is getting better with original series IMO. I like Ray Donovan, Dexter, Nurse Jackie, Californication, Episodes, House of Lies, Shameless, and can't wait for the return of Homeland.

I think in this case TWC is Time Warner Cable.

Showtime was one of the one's I never kept, just like Cinemax. But with Homeland, Ray Donavan, Strike Back and Banshee, those two now get subscriptions from me as well. I always have HBO, and use to keep Starz just for movies, but their original programming is great too.

And yeah, the dispute is with Time Warner Cable and Showtime.

The use of TWC is no more, it's WEATH.

According to an article in our local fish wrapper this morning (Rochester NY D&C) CBS wants an increase of 600% in retransmission fees. Here is an article from CNET.

Very informative article.

Please TWC call their bluff. Let them insist on not being carried.

 

[dwarren2]

I was surprised that CBS didn't try to censor the article since it was on CNET.

This is nuts. If we get all of our programs from Internet streaming then the cable company's win. I can see the cable company's doing what is now standard practice in the cell phone industry.

Have tiers plans with data limits. In order to get enough data for a four hour daly TV viewing it may cost $200.00 per month.

cord cutting may wind up costing the average consumer more for entreatment then it does today.

Is The Re-Negotiation Game a new original series? Is it a sequel to Hunger Games?

And Usual Suspension Threat must be a sequel to Usual Suspects. Maybe I can get Showtime half price so I can watch those.
