Well, I am pissed. U-Verse is, by far, the best TV service I have ever seen, and they just killed Food Network and The Cooking Channel.
Negotiations broke down, and the customers lost. I really don't want to switch services, because I love U-Verse so much, but Food Network is the main channel I watch. Dammit.  http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2010-11-05/business/ct-biz-1106-att-uverse-20101105_1_u-verse-subscribers-scripps-networks-interactive-food-network |

From what I heard yesterday the fault likes with FN/TCC. I'd be pissed too. |

From what I heard yesterday the fault likes with FN/TCC. I'd be pissed too. From some of the things I've read, AT&T wants broad digital distribution rights to Food Network programming, and Food Network wasn't interested in signing those rights away. So AT&T let the TV contract lapse. Ultimately, it doesn't really matter to me who's at fault. All I know is that I don't have FoodTV anymore. As I told the ATT rep I just spoke with, if it's not back PDQ, I'm cancelling my TV service. |

G4 was the best of those lost but I really doubt I'll even notice. I'd be super pissed about losing FN. I'll let you know how the next season of Chopped goes.  |

I remember when G4 started out as ZDNet (which was really good!), then changed to Tech TV, then continued it's downward spiral into G4. When G4 covered the Adult film expo in Vegas like it was a good thing, it really jumped the shark. I haven't watched it since and took it off my channel guide. |

TV for computer geeks. Then they kept going further and further from that, and it kept getting more and more irrelevant. |

The first 2-3 episodes were interesting, but after that, it was been-there-done-that, and I lost interest. But if I don't have Good Eats, then my cable is basically useless.  |

All providers are going to have that issue soon. The networks are at war with providers right now. They want more money from the providers. Would you have been happy to see an rate increase on your bill to keep those channels? The next round would be even more brutal. Other networks see this all in the news and think they try it on their next negotiation as well.
Lose/lose for the customer. |
