To everyone watching the World Series in Fox via Cablevision, well you already know.
http://www.deadline.com/2010/10/war-is-over-fox-cablevision-reach-deal/ Cablevision isn't too happy about the deal, given that this is quoted from their PR: In the absence of any meaningful action from the FCC, Cablevision has agreed > to pay Fox an unfair price for multiple channels of its > programming including many in which our customers have little or no > interest. Cablevision conceded because it does not think its customers > should any longer be denied the Fox programs they wish to see. > > Cablevision thanks its customers for understanding the reasons for the > dispute and for staying with us. We are also grateful to the 175 government > leaders who raised their voices to urge government intervention and binding > arbitration to prevent this blackout. It is clear the retransmission > consent system is badly broken and needs to be fixed. > > In the end, our customers will pay more than they should for Fox > programming, but less than they would have if we had accepted the > unprecedented rates News Corp. was demanding when they pulled their channels > off Cablevision. > > -- Wesley McGee http://www.ambivi.com http://drawing-a-blank.tumblr.com -- TV or Not TV ....
