PIXfan 34 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Yes, as a Cablevision customer in Southwestern Connecticut, I can proudly confirm the return of WPIX to the system. It only took about TEN WEEKS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.L. Hughes 763 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Senator Gayle Slossberg is the one to thank for this, her decision to call out the FCC for doing nothing in these disputes between cable providers and broadcasters and ask for the agency to intervene put the fear down Tribune and Cablevision's spines and caused them to reach an agreement that would have taken much longer to come together and hammer out. If only more people in Congress stood up for the consumer like that, we'd think different of our House Representatives and State Senators. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchorman 93 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 They must have brokered a deal late last night/early this morning because they ran a promo thanking Cablevision subscribers with virtually every member of the news team (Jodi, Kaity, Suki, Linda, Mocker, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABC 7 Denver 1565 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 It's possible that WPIX might have pre-prepared that beforehand, on the pretense that a resolution would occur. But that is just tangential speculation. The important point, I think we can agree, is that PIX 11 is back on CableVision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
