Spinoff. just so everyone does not panic.. NICK and those other channels are NOT going anywhere

I did call last night when i saw this and I was ASSURED that they will now be going off the air. Someone apparently hacked into the system. they had no clue where the feed was coming fromChat Icon

This is untrue - please keep calling. I'm not sure who the OP spoke with but this is a very real contract issue.

ETA link to one of many news articles re: the contract battles

Janet - did you call Cablevision or Time Warner??? The contract issue does NOT affect LI's service, just NYC.

The story is very real, so I am not understanding who you talked to.

I think you are talking about Cablevision, they are running the scroll as well, but it clearly says "Time Warner Cable" and Bright something Cable.

Chat Icon That was a little rude, no?? If your kids' favorite shows were suddenly being pulled along with 18 other channels for no reason I'd think it's cause for a little annoyance

I did not have cable until I moved into my own apartment at 22 - that's neither here nor there. This is something being taken away, not something that wasn't there to begin with.

Well by all means complain, I just don't think it's THAT big of a deal (probably because we don't watch a lot of TV here) but again, you are entitled to your opinion as am I.

No one is saying it's the end of the world Chat Icon However, we are all paying X$ for Y service. This is 18 channels, a few of which are something our children enjoy. No one is asking YOU to care, the posts are for those who subscribe through TWC and who care enough to make a call.

I'm not even going to respond to the Chat Icon

It is a LOT more than just the kids channels, it is everything Viacom owns:

VH1
MTV
Comedy Central

Plus another 10-12 channels.

Like someone else said, I doubt your bill will go down, even though you are going to have a lot less channels.

ETA: I'm a Cablevision customer, but it still annoys me, because if they are playing games with Time Warner, it's only a matter of time before Cablevision's deal expires.

ITA. And I have to say that even though it is not a big deal to some, why make fun of the people who are bothered by it? I don't get the point.....

Good luck all who try to get through.Chat Icon

Still not sure why you're offended. I didn't say I didn't care of course I will complain but the OP was just making a joke. Apparently it went over your head.

I don't think so. It seems to be the specific contract between Time Warner and Viacom.
