Cablevision has dropped HGTV and Food Network (Scripps) from the lineup! I know this isn’t really on par with FOX or FOX networks… but it certainly is similar. Could you look into that too? I miss “Iron Chef.”

@Skraf – Yes, they bascially are, and MSNBC is what? CNN is what? Both sides play that game. It is wrong, it is silly, it is a disservice to the public, but it is also their absolute right to be jackasses.

@TfT – Thus lie the priorities of the senior Senator from Massachusetts. Note to the Senator – free enterprise is a much older and more important tradition than football on New Year’s Day.

“Fox and Time Warner need to strike a deal – millions of football fans are depending on it,’’ said Kerry, chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee’s subcommittee on communication, technology, and the Internet. “Having screens go dark because two parties couldn’t come together in time is no solution. New Year’s Day and football are synonymous in households across the nation. Private industry negotiations cannot disrupt a fundamental American tradition.” (hat tip dsl.com).
