Fox wants more, TW doesn't want to pay..


The dumb thing about it is, TW can never win these arguments.. Really they are going to stop showing FOX.... Millions of people watch FOX.. TW has no leveragehere..

Whoever thinks a contract is actually not going to be finalized and this will actually happen, is an idiot.

This could be devastating. TWC is going to start to hemorrhage customers if this goes through:

TimeWarner would be stupid not to get a deal done.

[hella handsome]

[aceofjays]

It's "I couldn't care less."

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Cable companies do this all the time. They'll come to a deal. There's no way Time Warner drops Fox. That's too important a channel.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Man TW is !*@!#% UP right now... Drop FOX and lose 1-2 NFL games each week??!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING???

I got DTV but man how stupid can TW be?

 

[grimey]

i dont $#$% with fox, but i $#$% with the nfl, they better not unless they want to lose some customers

 

[harlemtothebronx]

I remember this happening with one of the NY sports stations, and TW caved. Fox is 8164834 times more important than a random NY sports channel.

That is some bullllllll crap. I hate TW with a passion.

Couldn't agree more. I need to talk to my landlord to see if he will reconsider me puttin a DTV dish on top of the building. Damn TW Cableis taking $150/mo from me and they now they are gonna strip me of Fox? First it was NFL Network, then it was HDNet, if Fox goes, Im going to cancel on thespot and dropkick the B workin at the stupid Time Warner office when I drop off my cable boxes for good measure.
