I have always wondered when cable providers and networks would clash with each other, and they would engage in petty business dealings. Well. . It has happened finally in New York City with the cable company Cablevision and the Fox network. Negotiations between the two companies reached a stalemate and Cablevision acted with the move of actually cutting millions of viewers from the Fox network earl Saturday! Negotiations continued today with the two companies, with Fox hoping for a resolution as soon as possible.
I thought that the move by the cable provider was justified and within all reasoning. It goes back to simple business practices, if the client does pay the bill or agree to the new terms of the agreement, then the business reserves the right to cut the services to the client! Point blank! Business is business! And Fox network should know that better than anyone in the mass-media business!
