 | Premium channel preview??? Lots of providers are offering a free preview of HBO/Showtime/Cinemax/etc during Jan 11-13. Does anyone know if WOW! will be doing this? I didn't see any announcement on the WOW! twitter page...

 | Could you at least tell us why they never participate in them? |
|
 | reply to WOW_Dan WOW should really consider doing some of these things to try and make their users feel important, especially after all the of recent issues with their service. |
|
 | reply to WOW_Dan Wow never participates in this. It's a shame.
Really everyone should be getting a free month to make up for all the crap lately. But no, we can't even get a free weekend that it looks like every other major cable co is offering. |

 | reply to qbwaggle Someone on FB said WOW told them they weren't participating because Showtime shows R rated movies.
I suppose there could be some truth to it as they wouldn't want the Premium channels accessible by anyone, including children. |

That's BS and you know it! The Starz and Encore channels are part of the Signature package and they both show uncut, R-rated movies. Starz shows Spartacus, which has some pretty raw scenes.
I bet the real reason is that WOW! doesn't show "free previews" is that they probably pay a lower price on their contracts, thus not being able to participate in them. |
