1 edit |  [iO] New CV Rant - Another News Channel?! HUH?!
Well, I came home tonight and started to channel surf. And to my unplesant surprise, I found a new useless channel (ABC News Now - channel 107 in the Bronx) now offered by CV! I just gotta say, Cablevision...are you kidding me? There are already about 5 or 6 news channels, do we really need another one! I've been requesting channels like FX and SoapNet (sure they're not as important, but they are entertaining) for about 3 years, and they give me this!!!! CV YOU ARE NOT LISTENING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS! |

they are probably getting these channels free / super cheap since they already have deals with abc.

Uh, they are carrying that channel due to it being a subchannel for ABC-DT. Just like PBS Kids is a subchannel for WNET-DT! I don't think it's something to get angry at. Wait til the rates go up next year for cable TV, b/c CV just announced they are keeping OOL & OV rates the same. I hear ya on them not listening to what the customers want with respect to channels though! |

ABC requires in their carriage agreement that CV carries the subchannel. I believe ABC just turned the subchannel on within the past week or two.

Give cv a break, they added food network and hgtv in bronx/brooklyn lineup. I love news. What would really make my day is if they dropped fox news channel. If the did that my tv would tilt to the left... |
