Failure would have been an enormous blow to the network.
	No good deed goes unpunished.

I don't know who caved. TWC had started running commercials encouraging people NOT to discontinue their Time Warner Cable service. It might be interesting to know how many subscribers they lost in a month of haggling with CBS.

After running adds telling subscribers they were trying to "hold theline" against outrageous monetary demands by CBS, my last cable bill showed an increase of $5.....and that was during a time when I had 2 fewer channels to watch.

No wonder they increased my monthly cable bill. I think they're both managed by jerks.

And I HATE the TWC commercials that always end with, "Thank you for choosing Time Warner Cable." Like I have a choice? It's either TWC or a sattelite. We should be able to choose among all of the cable services. Why does TWC get a monopoly on certain sections of the area. Just like other cable companies get monopolies in other parts of the state and throughout the country.

The federal government broke up Ma Bell in the 1970's and a million new phone companies popped up. Guess only great phone service deserves to be broken up. Lousy cable providers get to keep all the competition out of the market.
