As of this Friday afternoon, CBS (and KCAL9) are both off the air, here in Los Angeles.
My Husband is semi-outraged. How will he watch Undercover Boss? OMG, the world is going to end. :-)
Me, I don't watch anything on CBS and nothing but news on KCAL9. They aren't too, too bad.
As a Broadcaster, I agree with Time Warner Cable. (I can't believe I said that).
They get their money from people buying their service, which includes our channels. This has always been a free arrangement.
These past few years have seen channel after channel begging for huge amounts of money to run their shows. It's so wrong on so many levels.
We the consumers who don't have line of site to Mt. Wilson, have enough trouble coming up with the money to pay the cable bill. Bilking us for more, is not in my budget. We here in the angel house have basic. We don't even pay extra for...well, extras.
If Time Warner Cable gives in, it opens up the floodgates and we end up paying for them all and that is unthinkable. Why do we get stiffed, when all the over the air viewers pay nothing? What makes us so "special"?
Truly, if I could get rid of cable, I would. One less bill to pay.
Your hubby sounds like mine..:) I agree with your views...
