So what's going with Time Warner Cable now? First we're losing FOX and were without it for a week or so. Now I'm getting prompts that we're losing Nickelodean and 18 other channels tonight? Is this another agreement that someone doesn't want to compromise on or what? Or just another excuse to cut our service and increase our rates again ?

 

*shrug* I don't watch Nickelodean so I don't know.... call and ask, or look online

 

Directv HD FTW

 

I just got that prompt on my TV and we dont go through them for cable down here. We go through Comcast. It says call them to demand that they keep the channels. I think its just a way to get you to call and take a survey

 

samething here, im not worried though unless i lose channels. cable is through the apartment complex and billed into rent so idk who i have. but ill know who to yell at !

 

same here. mtv, vh1, comedy central, spike tv, nick, and some other ones. i called the number and it just asked for your house phone number then the machine or wutever says it's gonna transfer you. then it answers saying the number no longer exists. so i tried calling again and it just hung up after transferring.

 

Yeah I just saw the warning on comedy central like 5 minutes ago, I was enjoying weekend at bernie's 2 and saw that spike, comedy central, and MTV are getting cut and a few others,

 

Read the news.

Viacom is charging Time Warner almost a 40% increase in those channels

Time Warner isnt paying it, so they aren't updating the contracts

 

Some companies are not paying for certain channels now. That is why i have Directv in HD

 

This is going to upset quite a few people.

 

as long as speed channel is ok, then everything is fine

 

How long until these channels go off?

 

Jan 1st at 12:01am

 

I think it said tomorrow or something... not sure though

ahh there you go.

 

So basically calling the number is trying show that these channels should be kept and that the contracts should be updated? Or do they want extra money?

 

well i WORK FOR BRIGHT HOUSE/TIME WARNER,SAME THING,UHM I HAVENT HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT
DO U KEEP LOSING CHANNELS??
IF SO CALL THE OFFICE AND LET THEM KNOW DUDE

 

The channels haven't been lost yet. There's just a prompt running across the bottom of the screen saying that they will be lost and to call a number to demand they stay.

 

heres the story

WELL THEN CALL THE OFFICE FOR MORE INFO
AND ASK WHY THOSE CHANNELS BEING CUT OFF
WE USUALY PUT LIKE A TRAP FILTER ON THE CABLE WHICH LIMITS CERTAIN CHANNELS
SO I'D CALL AND ASK "WTF IS GOING ON!!"

 

why cant it be channels like the golf channel or lifetime or some **** like that!!!

 

Man my mom and sister was pissed today lol. They was more worried about noggen...babysitter lol

 

Viacom wants to raise the price of all of their channels, TWC does not want to raise the price to the customers again. I work for twc they told us this morning its all in negotiation im sure they will decide on an agreement, they always do this happens every year, most of the time you just don't here about it.

 

Viacom is lucky that it has Spike and Comedy Central because MTV and VH1 both suck. why do they even want more money. so they can create more crap shows like The City and Bromance? . . they need an MTV revamp.

 

I think they should not agree and **** em, its bullshit they are raising the price at times like this, i could care less about most of those chs except the kids channels and comedy central, i have 2 younger kids. MTV sucks ***** now, its not even music television anymore.

 

heres a solution.

Stop watching TV.
