Time Warner will tell you that when you subscribe to different packages you will get all kinds of programs and channels. Well many of those programs are duplicated two and three times on other channels. TWC get rid of the duplicates and put ALL of the none english in it’s own package and not in the basic package. Stop adding a couple good channels to a crappy package.

Why don’t you all turn this into a life lesson and teach your kids that just like Viacom, you can’t always get what you want? So your kid can’t see some show for a couple days, big deal! Why don’t you engage in parenting and family time with your kids instead of propping them in front of the TV.

Quite frankly, the main reason I got cable was so that my son can enjoy his favorite channel Noggin..so, if that is going to be taken away along with Nickelodean, I say, what’s the point of keeping it??? Why should we, as consumers, suffer because two companies can’t get along or because one feels the need to be greedy? I wish a representative from one of their big companies can try to explain to my six year old why he won’t be able to watch Noggin anymore…

is anyone really surprised by this….keep on pinching the consumer. Hopefully people with just do away with Time Warner and find an alternative provider, its the only way to stop getting pushed around.

Folks, TWC is a monopoly, just like all the other cable companies out there (thank you City of Orange…)
Customer satisfaction is not even on thier corporate To-Do List, they don’t care what we think. Why else would they do this or give us 20 Spanish speaking stations or if you havn’t noticed, run a Time Warner Cable commercial every 10 minutes telling us how great thier cable service is or asking us to try thier phone service..No thank you, going to contact the Dish people next Monday.

Typical for tw. They wont carry NFL network, almost lost all their customers in the midwest market over the Big Ten network that they refused to carry.They just dont get it or care. Take it from me switch to Dish Network or Direct TV(I have Dish), you will get better service, better picture and more options of what you want to watch. TW can stuff their service up their…well you know what. Happy New Year All!

Oh my goodness, I can not believe they are willing to take away Nickelodeon from kids and teens like me. The shows on Nick is so loved that children will be sad if they take it away. Nick has BETTER shows than Disney and to the kids or teens that hate the shows from Disney and watch Nick, this is shocking news. This is just ridiculous coming from the two so-called “BIGGEST” companies

HEY VIACOM AND TIME WARNER, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND THINK ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS THAT ARE REALLY PAYING THE PRICE TO KEEP YOUR COMPANIES ALIVE IS THIS BAD ECONOMY!

When considering DirecTV, keep this in mind. Their customer service is only slightly better than cable. I had an outage for a week due to a dish problem and they wanted to charge me to come to my house. Only after arguing, was the service call for free. Also, channels like Food, Discovery, History etc, are all east coast feeds so when a show is advertised as being on at 9PM, it may not be. Also channel changes are slow, 1 to 2 seconds, so surfing is slow. If you watch HBO, they don’t carry HBO Comedy. When all is said and done, DirectTV is better than TWC but I am considering ATT’s U-verse.

time warner sucks…this isn’t viacom’s fault.

We hung in there when TWC bought out Adelphia. More money, lost channels and lousy picture quality. If I wanted certain channels back it entailed very costly upgrades.

No more. They are raising our rates, giving us less channels and they think i’m going to stand by and continue to put money in their pocket? Friends of ours pay less for more with satellite.

Been considering satellite tv for some time. Looks like the time is now.

TWC just lost another customer. This is one of the worst companies i’ve dealt with.

Down with Viacom! They are acting like snotty kids who aren’t getting whatever they want. Now that get loud and complain in public. Sure hope their actions backfire and they get dropped!!

They need to stop bundling all those channels together. It’s just a way to extort money so you can watch maybe one channel out ot the bunch. I’d say 70 % of the channels I had I didn’t watch, but I was stuck because there’s one or two channel in a particular lineup that I did watch. The only thing I could do was fork over the cash or cancel.
I could’ve saved hundreds a year if I could buy only the channels I want, but the cable companies won’t give that up. So, I actually just cancelled my cable except for basic. I get like 2-13 now and that’s it. These companies don’t care about the customers. All they want is the money.

Time Warner and the other cable providers need to understand that the time is now, that they need to provide customized channel deliveries to their customers.

There’s really only a dozen channels I would watch on either cable or satellite. And if it isn’t soon on cable, DirecTv will be my choice.

So if Vicome goes through with a black out they lose advertising revenue. If TWC goes through with it they lose customers. So this really is a no win situation here. They both need to sit down, figure out who is going to lose the most money, and that company needs to give in.

NOGGIN IS THE ONLY DECENT CHANNEL FOR MY LITTLE ONE. I DO NOT NEED CABLE IF THEY TAKE THAT CHANEL AWAY. I SEE DISH NETWORK IN MY FUTURE.
HOW MUCH MORE OF A PROFIT DO THEY NEED?

none of viacom shows are “beloved” in my household. Sometimes we watch the Daily Show but, like TW said you can find it on the net. Viacom will also block TWC customers from its web site too. However, I think you can get around it by going to hulu.com. It worked last night. On Comedy Central’s web site the warning notice popped up. I mostly watch sports and news so bye bye Viacom. I’m sure the two will soon reach an agreement. They both need each other.
