Thursday night, when people were listening to music, Ch.7 to “generation gap(a repeat of the “Bernie Mac and Cheese” episode), the screen changed to read:
“The Walt Disney Company, owner of this channel, has removed a program from Spectrum that causes customer difficulty. We apologize for the inconvenience.
“We apologize for the inconvenience, but we will continue negotiations in good faith.” to reach a fair agreement“
Weird, maybe a viewer clicked ESPN to see SEC football kickoff No. 14 Utah will play Florida at home. But instead I only saw the following:
“We have offered Disney a fair deal, but they demand the following terms: excessive increase.
“They also want to limit our ability to offer our customers a wide range of choices in programming packages and force us to watch and pay for channels they may not want.
“We are very disappointed in their position for the negative impact it has had on our customers.”
Cable subscribers paying hefty monthly bills got frustrated and gave ESPN2 a try. US OpenRanked No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz will face Dominic Kepfer in the second round.
No, it was showing:
“Spectrum stands by our customers and strives to keep costs down while protecting and maximizing customer choice.
“Rising programming costs are the single biggest driver of rising cable TV rates, and we are fighting hard to maintain the line of programming rates imposed by companies like Disney.”
How about flipping it over and watching the continuation of “Iron Man 3” FX? This blocked me again:
“Our negotiations have only one purpose: to reach an agreement. fair to customers.
“We understand the inconvenience this has caused and hope to resume this program as soon as possible.
“We appreciate your loyalty and look forward to continuing to serve you.”
It was the same for all derivative shows on ESPN and FX. national geographic And the Disney Channel is fighting over how much money Disney and Spectrum make from all of us, so a dozen channels aren’t on the air, while millions of viewers You are left without the service you paid for. ABC News and “danger!” To the best tennis in the world in Queens.
Unlike utilities such as electricity and gas, cables are not strictly regulated. Cable companies have long-term franchise agreements with the city and run wires under roads and on utility poles, but that’s the only government oversight. Instead, there are a few cheesy public access channels that are unappealing among hundreds of channels. And if you don’t like your cable provider, you can’t choose another cable company. It’s a monopoly (although there are satellite dishes and services via phone carriers and streaming).
So while Disney and Spectrum are battling it out, there’s not much we can do but lose. Football matches and tennis matches are not redone. You can’t watch news or entertainment when you want to. Disney, the owner of ABC, also eliminated radio network programming from Spectrum viewers in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Raleigh-Durham, Houston and Fresno. I’m sorry, everyone.
