Seems fair enough if you look at the percentages, Viacom chanels are only 2.5% of the cable bill but they're watche for 20% of the time and it's only 23cents a month more for the subscriber. Also the shares seem to be in Viacom's vavor so i can see the cannels being back on air soon after they go off if they go off at all.

I would mostly miss Comedy Central and Palladia. Palladia is a quality music channel that actually *gasp* . . .plays music around the clock. And it's HD.

after discovering that cartoon network (Adult Swim), TNT, USA, FX, History Channel, A&E, Bravo, Discovery channel, and American movie classics will remain on the air, I must say good ****ing riddance. MTV has sucked **** for the last decade.

[QUOTE="R0cky_Racc00n"]Viacom are greedy people. At least I don't have to worry because I have Comcast.cell_dweller
Comcast is the worst cable company on the planet. They are highly good at screwing people and overcharging.

I wouldn't know that because I don't pay the bills. :P Although, Comcast did buy out my other cable company that I liked. All I know is that at least with Comcast I don't have to worry about the Viacom issue now.

Yes, Comcast is an absolute joke of a company. We've had cable for nearly 20 years, but we're switching to Direct TV after the hockey season due to this BS fiasco with Comcast's lack of delivery of the complete NHL Center Ice package.

That seems rather unlikely. This is just typical corporate posturing to try to get a better deal....I hope. Nobody would win in that scenario.SpaceMoose

[QUOTE="Wilfred_Owen"]Not anymore since they reached a deal. You get to keep your channels. I only wished I could get verizon.Hallenbeck77

Here's the proof to back it up.

For them not to reach an agreement would have been rather detrimental to both of their businesses, and they both knew that applied to the other side as well as themselves. If anybody is hiring "analysts" I'm willing to consider offers. I got one right. That's a better record than a lot of them. :P

This whole scenario just now made me think of Nash equilibrium...
