BBCAmerica

[bklynviewer]

Is there any way to convince Cablevision to carry this channel? It seems to be one of the better channels out there.

Apparently not.

This has been a glaring omission in CV's offerings for quite a while. If you call them they'll swear this channel doesn't exist or they'll tell you no one ever asks for it.

Dolan must have a personal issue with BBCAmerica because not carrying it when practically every other service does makes him look ineffectual and foolish.

Have you seen the Knicks lately? I don't think Dolan cares about looking foolish.

I dont understand why it is soo damn hard for Dolan and Cablevision to actually satisfy us paying customers with the things that we want.

I'm glad Cablevision does not have BBC America.
Considering, Cable Companies have to pay for every channel they offer, why would I want to add a channel that will increase the rates for all customers, when only 1% of customers will actually want to watch it.
If anything they should offer it as an international channel, so only the customers that want it, have to pay for it.

Well, CV has BBC World which is in their digital pack (ch.104/in Ct.)
& other international channels in their basic pack that we have to pay for even if we don't want it BUT not BBC America or HD Net/Movies, etc.,etc. that other services have carried for years.. its just not about BBC America but the way CV drags it heels in offering other options/channels to its customers like I have said in my other posts why do we need those "promo" channels or double channels (basic/digital of the same ) to pay for the HD channels maybe & then say CV give HD for free & we all know that the services (cable/satellite/telcos/cell phone co.) don't really give things for free there is a cost hidden somewhere

Well, then, by that reasoning CV should carry nothing but locals and freebies. I could say, for any cable channel that charges for carriage, "why should all subscribers pay higher cable rates if only X% watch it"? Oh, and, BTW, your source for the claim that "only 1% of customers will actually want to watch BBCA" is....?
