Yep. I wrote about it last night. Charter is taking a stand against Disney. The latter wants to keep jacking the fees and the former is looking for a new model.

It will be interesting to watch and see how this shakes out.

Yes, but they could have negotiated during programming. On thursday they showed pregrame and then cut it off at kickoff. I was mad but no I realize I can live without live sports. They shouldn't have woken me up lol.

Well that is the negotiation technique. No leverage when shutting down replays of an Australian cricket match. Charter is trying to force Disney's hand.

Both are in rough shape with the change in broadcasting.

This industry is very slow to react. The 1st shot fired was when Tina Fey did Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live and more people watched it the next day on Hulu than live.

Yeah. Netflix seems to have disrupted more than just Blockbuster. The tentacles are becoming evident now.

Plus we have Web 3.0 on the horizon. How will that change things?

CAble is dying indeed

The current streaming model will die next. Too many and not enough anchor programs.

Also true. I think Netflix might be one of the firs to go unless they turn things around drastically

Yeah, I already quit them. I returned my dvds yesterday lol

I still have my shared account because their new fees haven't rolled out to me yet but once that happens I'm out too
