Guest cfif Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6404747.html?display=Breaking+News Watch their ad profits slide down and viewership go next to nil all because of their stubbornness. Well, so much for me getting WTTA if this happens.
10Viewer 338 Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 They're just out to screw people over. They think they can get away with anything.
FirstNews8 13 Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Yeah, there yanking a couple stations from mediacom in Illinois.
jhampsten 0 Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Plus KDNL-ABC in STL is being pulled from outlying mediacom systems too. So much for sincrap and their statements that they worked with comcast... All I got to say is, what the hell happened with the FCC! This needs stopped and it needs stopped NOW!!!! Then I really got mad at KTVI tonight, owned by fox, who owned directv until this merger or whatever you want to call it with liberty, for even mentioning it.
jdcnow 14 Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 (Article Title) Sinclair being stubborn idiots again What else is new? ;D Sincrap has always stubborn idiots. Look at the success rate they have of run stations into the ground.

KMOV made no mention of it. Oddly enough on another topic, KTVI actually ran promos for switching to FOX2 News (under the guise of wishing Karen Foss (of KSDK) a happy retirement).
Guest Broken News Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Mediacom and Sinclair have apparently made nice-nice. http://www.tvweek.com/news.cms?newsId=11500
TexasFury 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I never understood why cable companies had to pay to transmit local stations. If anything, it's the cable companies who are doing the stations a favor. Stations should consider cable re-transmission a bonus. For the cost of renting a line to the local cable office, they send out your signal for FREE! If that's not a good deal, I don't know what is.
NowSTLexNY 1 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Tell that to Sincrap and Belo. They are putting corporate profits and executive salaries ahead of public interests. Too bad we can't vote them out.
