Just useless info I didn't see posted here. A ciouple days old, though, Sorry.

For those unfamiliar, WCHS and WVAH and Ex Charter/New Suddenlink having a dispute on carrying the channels.

Sinclair wants a one time $40 Million upfront fee, and $1 per subscriber per month.

Saw this on a scroll on WCHS TV 8, and on their website.

I wonder how much the cable bill is going to go up as a result.

Of course the customer will have to fit the bill.

Anyway, It's the 8th, and still no news. WCHS website still has the same thing about being extended until Jul 7.
