Re: What's the problem? In my opinion, it is time that large providers team up against these ridiculous broadcasters.
Negotiate all at once, all or nothing, nationwide agreement. Sinclair holds the power now, time to take it back.
Where I work, the companies did it... The union negotiates with one body that represents 130+ companies. They hammer out one deal, and that sticks for the majority of the industry across the country.
Let's see sinclair swallow losing All of their cable subs at the same time...

| You're doing like they dont have options. The dish and phone company tv guys are more than happy to pick up the slack where cable drops the ball. |
|
| And that is part of the rub. The networks do not stand to lose anything in this. If they cut off service, then people flee to another provider. They still have their eyes and TW lost revenue.
So this is very much a 1 sided fight in which the cable company (whom has competition) can't win no matter what. |

It's not one sided at all. Cable companies are free to drop the stations. The problem is that they can't produce compelling content that people want to watch on their own, except maybe when Comcast finishes the acquisition of NBC. So they have to depend on the stations for the content that their viewers are requesting. |

| So now the cable companies need to become producers of TV shows as well so this doesnt happen?
That is a stupid argument and Comcast should not be able to take over NBC as the delivery method and the product should remain separate. |
