Time Warner Cable reaches agreement :(

I’m a strong supporter of satellite TV so I guess that’s why I’m kinda bummed down about TWC reaching an agreement with ViaCom. If you remember, TWC didn’t wanna air a football game last year, 2006 I think, so alot of TWC customers ditched and most went to Direct TV.

Any who, enough of my going on and on. TWC and ViaCom reached an agreement to the channels that were “about” to be pulled off the air. It appears that ViaCom wanted about $0.23 from each customer each month more. So that still makes TWC expensive.

Associated Press (AP) posted a news blog stating:

“Time Warner Chief Executive Glenn Britt on Wednesday had called Viacom's demand for a 12 percent increase in fees — an extra $39 million on top of the estimated $300 million it pays Viacom annually — extortion and outrageous given the recession. Viacom countered that the requested increase amounted to an extra $2.76 annually per subscriber.”

This might be a reason why you should switch to satellite. Even though you might be paying an extra %12 per month, you’ll keep your normal channels.

Now a personal story on why I switched from cable to satellite. Me and my neighbor got cable from the same light pole. I was paying $63.00 per month. I found out that she was paying $38 per month for the same damn service. I was paying $25 more than she was for the same service. Hell with that, I called Direct TV and I told them. We did a deal and I got the same price for 200 more channels :)

Well I’m sleepy so I’m out :)
