Oh, one more thing before midnight..

If you have Time Warner Cable as your cable company, you just might not have cable TV at all after 12:01am. Teel Deer: Viacom and Time Warner are fighting over profits...so TW is taking it out on their customers by refusing to air any programs.

Classy, huh?

Good luck, guys..

Oh, and Happy New Year!

Do we know who is Time Warner Cable and who isn't? I'm wondering if they own a bunch of smaller companies, making this potentially complicated.

Btw, Happy New Year's Eve... ;)

That's a *very* good question. And I have no idea what that means for folk who have cable internet...they could potentially be out of internet *and* cable...

ETA: And Happy New Years' Eve to you too, Val! :D

One more ETA: It might just be Viacom channels pulled from Time Warner. Still, that includes Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, and MTV so...yeah.

I'm glad you mentioned this because I just heard about this and was wondering if I'd have to search for it online. I have Direct TV but I hope they work something out. A lot of people have Warner and possibly some might have their phone service through them too I think. Total bummer.

I hope they work it out soon, too. Worse, I'm not sure if folks who have cable internet will be affected, too.

It just is bad news all around. :(

Not so bad but still. I hope it doesn't interfere with their Internet. I hadn't thought about that. That would truly suck.

Ah, man! Well, I hope you still have those channels when you wake up tomorrow...
