Channel 7 here in New York is doing the same. On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 12:11 PM, Dave Sikula <[email protected]> wrote: >> Here we go with this kabuki again. Has any cable system actually gone through with the threat and blocked a major broadcaster for a prolonged period of time? Back during the May sweep in 2000, WABC was off in NYC for several days because, surprise, Disney was fighting with Time Warner Cable over ESPN. Most of the anger was directed at Time Warner at the time and the City's consumer affairs department and franchising commission punished TW. Subscribers got either a free month of a pay channel or a couple of free PPV movies that summer. I don't have Time Warner (odd, RCN never has these problems) so I get to watch from the sidelines.
