Seems as though once again more channels have been dropped from Cablevision in what they describe as a act of “corporate greed”. Fox 5 and My 9 (Yankee fans take note) have been dropped from the lineup as News Corp is asking for more then $150 million a year.
This seems to be a reoccurring theme for Cablevision, you may recall earlier this year Cablevision had a dispute with HGTV and the Food Network. The company that distributes both HGTV and The Food Network stated that "the cable operator failed to negotiate acceptable rates for the programming distribution rights".
Could the problem with these negotiations reside with Cablevision? Whomever is handling the negotiations just does not seem to be getting the job done and the only action that Cablevision seems to take regarding this situation is airing out the dirty laundry and distributing the above message putting the blame squarely on News Corp for pulling Fox and My 9.
The customers deserve better than this, put this corporate bickering over millions of dollars away and get us back what we paid for. After all its not “our” fault that you big headed corporate giants cannot come to terms but we are the ones that lose out.
Spare us the dirty details, get back to the negotiating table and get our channels back!
