they all do this every year when they go through the new negotiations with the providers. every now and then a network will lose a channel or 2 and then the next year they may get it back. viacom has done this a few times, fags
Guess what. A deal has been finalized. The channels won't be taken off the air. This just came in an hour ago. Expect something soon. Maybe new HD channels from Viacom are in the works for TWC.
Viacom says they only want to raise the price by 12 cents...bull!They want us to feel so sorry for them it's terrible! Time Warner is trying to have us save instead of waist of 12% they want us to spend. Viacom will only have a few people watching their channels anyways after this. All they want is for Time Warner to go out of business. They like having a tiff with every network they can find. Watch out or your favorite network will start telling you this & then many of you will know how this is
To hell with all of the MTV channels. They suck anyway, except for the Comedy Channel. Besides, I can watch them on the internet. So go ahead and pull the bastards. I don't care.
Viacom has demanded that Time Warner Cable pay an extra 12% to carry its package of 19 channels including MTV, VH-1, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, Spike and TV Land. Time Warner has refused, saying the increase amounts to an additional $39 million a year on top of the hundreds of millions of dollars that it already pays Viacom.
This was on My Bright House home page.... IT READS: "MTV Networks intends to take their channels away from Bright House Networks customers at midnight. You can help. Call MTV Networks at 212-258-8000. Tell them to play fair and keep your channels on Bright House Network." I called and pressed #3 like they said, listened to their crap then left a 'not-so-nice' message.
NO ONE CALL VIACOM THERE TRYING TO CHARGE MORE SO YOU MIGHT SEE A RATE INCREASE ON YOUR BILL. tIME WARNER STAND YOUR GROUND WE ARE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY.
I just signed up for DirecTV...One year $44.97/month free Showtime for the year, free TiVO equipment, free HBO & Stars for 3 months... Everything happens for a reason! My daughter would be devastated w/o her Moose A. Moose! lol
Great they had all the singers band from YouTube (i mean suspended singers from day one of YouTube that even had mechanical license ) lets see thr free channels get banned from TV don't call ) boycott them
If Viacom is asking for too much money for these channels, then why aren't all of the other cable companies threatening to pull them off the air?
I know why, it's because Brighthouse and Time Warner are cheap bastards that love to screw over their customers.
I used to take these two cable companies' sides in the NFL Network fiasco, but after reading this it's apparent that they were just being cheap then as well.
I agree with you. Ever since we switched to "the box" with Brighthouse, all we've gotten is barely-reachable customer service, trouble with channels with no audio or freezing up, and just overall horrible service that just costs us more than we can afford. This is most likely the last straw-- it's incredibly ridiculous and I'm sick of never having TV.
Honestly, I don't watch TV that often. But my parents, who both have full-time jobs, pay good money to have it when we do have time. I know I don't need TV to live, and, just as well, I have a job of babysitting and spend most of my time cleaning up after the kids or playing with them. But if my parents, or anybody, are paying good money for it, I don't see why we have bad service.
Another reason why cable sucks.
I'm not worried about it because I got DirecTV. Have fun dealing with them douchebags at the cable company!!!!

No more Online content which means no more viacom shows online. TWC subscribers won't be able to watch AVGN but there are ways to get around it.
