What is it with Time Warner and football?

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

The contract between Time Warner and the company that owns the local FOX and "My Network TV" stations expires at the end of this year.

If a new deal is not reached, Time Warner will pull the stations from its line-up and the NFL play-off games scheduled to air on FOX.

Time Warner sucks balls. Not that the NFL is blameless or anything, but Time Warner is just sleazy as they come. When I get a home of my own, you better billieve I'll be using DirecTV, if only so I can actually watch my Bills...

Not everyone will be affected apparently...saw a message going across the screen the other night...only former Adelphia customers whose systems were acquired by Time Warner

This is what happens when your government allows monopolies.

Time-Warner and other cable companies will be a relic from the past once Verizon expands its FiOS across the state. Cable, internet, and phone all on one fiber going to directly to your house with phenomenal bandwidth. Oh, and Verizon has a partnership with DirecTV... so guess what?
