Re: [TWC] What is the REAL reason...Low viewership.
No reason to pay for a channel and waste bandwidth for a channel nobody ever watches. I for one am absolutely thrilled that it is gone and ecstatic that I wont be paying Time Warner to carry this channel most people didnt even know existed. It was a useless channel that I would tune into once in a while for comedic reasons when I needed a laugh and there was no good standup routines on Comedy Central or HBO Comedy. Im not sure if DirecTV still carries current, I do know they have FSTV, which is an even funnier channel to watch. |

You think you'll get a rebate from TWC by removing the channel from the lineup? So far all I see are increases.. |

Current is Gone! Yes! YES!!! YES!!!! But that is one of TWC's reason on why they're dropping the channel, to keep the monthly fee low. |

I'm not playing your games. I know what you're doing and you know what you're doing. But personally speaking, I have not had a single price increase in the two plus years that Ive been a Signature Home subscriber on the core package. Infact with the advent of the Premium View add on, my cable bill has decreased $17/month.
Money savings isnt everything. Time Warner likely paid a dime for this channel. Im sure if you call up and complain theyll give you some type of temporary credit or HBO or something, that is equal to a lifetime of savings by not carrying this low budge lame inde POS channel. When I first saw Current was being dropped, I got up an did an Irish jig and blasted the song Kiss Him Good-Bye by Steam. |

The most viewers Current ever got during prime time was 42,000 viewers. As far as Hallmark channel's ratings, they were huge. » tvbythenumbers.zap2it.co ··· /156454/As far as the top 96 cable channels in the 3rd quarter, Current ranked 92 out of 96. » www.scribd.com/doc/10884 ··· ll-CableIn short, informercials stations were beating Current resoundingly. Remember that everytime you watch the Shark vacuum cleaner commericial. More people watched the Shark vacuum than anything presented on Current 7 to 1. |
