| desperate Charter is acting desperate. The ads I've seen and heard very specifically DON'T say that Charter is going out of business, the say things like "avoid Charter's mess and switch to us".

kudos:3 | Who is doing that? I can only speak for what I see in my own market, lately, but here they're saying "the analog to digital conversion is coming in June.. as a Comcast customer, if your television is already hooked to cable, you're already covered"... at least here they are not doing up-selling. They ARE saying that if your TV is not already hooked to cable, you'll either need to connect it to cable, or get a digital receiver (displays the digital TV website) to continue receiving programming. (and then the usual "contact us" message.. |

There's an ad I have heard on KMOX (the "Bankruptcy? Bankruptcy? Bankruptcy!" ad), that says Charter is going to be sold off in pieces and you don't know what, if any service you will end up with.

Haven't heard that one, but saying 'you don't know what service you'll end up with' is a far cry from claiming everyone is losing their service.

Dracut, MA | think it is the "if any" part that would imply people would lose services. |
