Charlotte DMA here. We have not had an NBC affiliate here for about oh 10 weeks. Yeah, I missed a couple NASCAR Cup events, but other than that...I could not care less. NBC , in fact network TV doesn't have much to offer my tastes. NBC and the other alphabets can kiss my a...Rear. Network TV is...

We both do not know the circumstances of any communications between the techs and their supervisors.

yes. Absolutely. Safety is safety. The way I see it is if a company is occupying a public roadway, they owe it to the public to ensure reasonable and proper safety precautions proportionate to the conditions at hand are taken. For example. Road crews, landscape companies performing work for the...

Yeah. The cops said that because they have political and liability concerns as well. "you didn't ask" .....Think about THAT. What would you think if I stated if the police were asked to provide a patrol car to assist, they would have obliged? BTW, the police have no say here. That's why we have...

Who said anything about "abandoning" the job. I neither stated nor implied that. I just got through stating this was not an argument, but me merely stating a point of view. What part of that did you not understand? No, I don't have a job. I am self employed. And my boss thinks that for this...

Just a minute. So, you are driving 15 or 20 mph in the snow. You crest a hill and notice that about 400 feet away your travel lane is blocked. You apply the brakes, due to the ice and snow, your ability to control the vehicle is compromised. You crash. In the video this was the majority of the...

Nice try. I was merely pointing out the fact that more people than not are dropping their land line and digital tel service in lieu of wireless. So let me know when you want to crash your car because some cable guy who created a major traffic hazard because he "was just doing his job".... I'm...

The majority of people in urban ad suburban areas have cell phones..... I'm not reevaluating anything...This was a safety and common sense issue. The repairs can wait.

The tech does not get to decide who uses a public roadway and who does not. BTW, in some states, Maryland being one, all lane closures are accompanied by law enforcement. I am not excusing the drivers who were driving too fast for conditions. They should all have been cited for stupidity...

The cable guys were not technically at fault. However, they should have recognized the potential hazards of the adverse road conditions, the fact that they were working just over the crest of a hill. TV and internet is NOT that important.

Indiana experienced a snowfall which made this particular road icy. Comcast techs blocked one travel lane. According to local authorities, the workers used OSHA Best Practices properly and deemed the company not at fault for the several vehicle crashes...

Changes are scaring Cablevision employees. Workers leaving 3 or 4 at a time...

This is the CRAP techs have to put up with from some of these yahoos who think that because their name is on the deed, they can do whatever they want...

Well. Comcast will only settle if there is something in it for them.

We shall see. I believe sports fees and the willingness of subscribers, even those that watch sports have reached a tipping point

I stand corrected. The bottom line though is of course none of the NYC based RSN's appear on Dish.

I say the sides do not agree and YES stays off...I guess we will see

The issue is simple. RSN managements want their channels to be exposed to the largest audience possible. Hence the fervent resistance to having their channels placed in higher tiers or all sports tiers. It is this model by which ESPN has so much exposure. ESPN is dragging nearly $7 per month...

Not so sure. Dish dropped YES, SNY and MSG. That means if a viewer in the NY Metro area wants to watch any NY market pro sports team, they must go to a company other than Dish. Look, companies are in the business of making money. In decisions such as this issue, the management will weigh the...

Back when YES was wholly owned by the Yankees, George Steinbrenner negotiated the channel's position on the respective providers as a 'basic' channel. That in spite of the fact that Steinbrenner thought very highly of his Yankees and thought their games were worth $2 or $3 per month per...

Really? How hard is it to connect cable tv/internet?.....Brighthouse serves the area in which my parents live. The lag time between initial order for service and actual completion of the job can be weeks! Its insane.

This is what one runs into in places where large cable cos have gobbled up these mom and pop companies. The agreements that the buyer cobbles together allow a certain time frame to upgrade all plant and equipment to the standards set forth in the new agreement. The bad news this could take...

There are lots of misconceptions regarding bankruptcy filings. Typically, the company filing is deep in debt, but a strategic( which most of these are) bankruptcy allows the company to reorganize, settle debts for pennies on the dollar and essentially start anew.

This one makes Charter a 24 million subscriber company. Smaller than Directv. As opposed to Comcast: -Charter does not own a major tv network. -Charter cannot control content as at least to my knowledge, Charter does not produce programming. I am thinking this gets through regulatory scrutiny...
