CR**P! I lost CBS (Time Warner Dispute)

[Jon L]

I had DVR'd PGA/Bridgestone to watch tonight, and lo and behold, all I get is a huge Time Warner propaganda banner. Time Warner customers have just lost CBS.  Greedy bastards, all of them

Let's see:

 

CBS - Think they own the world because they have a few good shows and will hold everyone ransom until they get a king's reward for the rights to broadcast them.  For example, for Netflix to be able to stream Two and a Half Men (a shit show) and Big Bang Theory (a good show), it would cost them about 40% of their ENTIRE operating budget.  Greedy much, CBS?

 

TWC - Think they own the world...  hell they own just about half of it.  They dick people around on cable and internet rates all the time.

 

Two multinational corporations who make a living out of misinforming and screwing the average person arguing about money and screwing the average person?  I'm shocked.

 

I'll get my Dexter fix regardless of how this plays out.

My area near mountains doesn't make it easy. I'll have to install an array on my roof..

It's not just CBS, either, but all CBS-owned channels like Showtime, TMC, FLIX and Smithsonian.

Lose.  (Or whatever the opposite of 'win' is.)
