Message: [QUOTE="Orangeyes, post: 136527, member: 34"] Just got this message in an email from Time Warner at 12:42 PM [SIZE=12px][COLOR=#4b4b4b][FONT=Arial][SIZE=12px][COLOR=#4b4b4b][FONT=Arial][SIZE=12px][COLOR=#4b4b4b][FONT=Arial][SIZE=12px][COLOR=#4b4b4b][FONT=Arial]At Time Warner Cable, we're sports fans too – that's why we fight hard to keep the sports you love on the air at a price you can afford. With the game clock running down, MSG Networks rejected all proposals, refused to engage in any meaningful way, and refused to allow us to keep the channel on. In the end, MSG pulled the plug on Time Warner Cable customers. We regret that MSG Networks has taken away their sports programming, but remind fans that [B][I]even without MSG, Time Warner Cable will carry nearly 20 percent of this season’s remaining Sabres games, almost 40 percent of the remaining Knicks games, and most of the NHL and NBA playoffs.[/I][/B] For information on where to find your favorite teams, visit [U][COLOR=#4b4b4b][url="http://www.twcconversations.com/MSG"]www.twcconversations.com/MSG[/url][/COLOR][/U]. [SIZE=2][COLOR=#4b4b4b][FONT=Arial]We don’t think that MSG’s actions are fair to sports fans, so Time Warner Cable is offering the following in appreciation of our customers: [/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=12px][COLOR=#4b4b4b][FONT=Arial]•[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=12px][COLOR=#4b4b4b][FONT=Arial][SIZE=12px][COLOR=#4b4b4b][FONT=Arial][SIZE=12px][COLOR=#4b4b4b][FONT=Arial]A special month-long preview of the Time Warner Cable Sports Pass, a package of more than 15 sports-oriented channels. This package—which normally costs $5.95 per month for residential customers—will be available from January 1 – 31, 2012.

We do want MSG to return to our channel lineup, and we will continue to work hard to reach an agreement that gives you the sports you love at a price you can afford to pay. Don’t forget: every TV provider is at risk for blackout threats. Last year MSG pulled the plug on DISH – so switching is not a solution. [B][I]If MSG really cared about the fans, they wouldn’t be holding your sports hostage.[/I][/B] Thank you for your patience and continued loyalty. [B]Tell MSG to Get Real and Do the Deal.
