For those of you with Time Warner Cable

[BOSSMANPC]

They have reached an agreement with Disney so we will not lose ESPN.

Time Warner Cable is always negotiating new deals with TV networks. Recently, we reached a new long-term agreement with Disney/ABC and ESPN, so you can continue to watch your favorite channels and the shows you love for years to come.

There will be no interruption of ESPN or Disney channels, as well as WABC in New York, KABC in Los Angeles, WTVD in Raleigh-Durham-Fayetteville and WTVG in Toledo. They'll stay right here on Time Warner Cable. In fact, our agreement means more networks and services for you, including the following*:


• Disney Junior - a new 24-hour basic channel for preschool-age children, parents and caregivers launching in 2012.
• ESPN3.com - ESPN's live sports broadband network will be available to all Time Warner Cable subscribers who get ESPN.
• A New ESPN Service - customers will be able to view ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU through broadband and mobile Internet devices.
• ESPN Goal Line - a college football super-highlight channel will be available only to Time Warner Cable’s Sports Pass customers starting as early as September 4, 2010.
• ESPN Buzzer Beater - a college basketball service similar to ESPN Goal Line, will be available to Time Warner Cable’s Sports Pass customers for college basketball season.
• Expanded Video On Demand Services - including ABC On Demand, Disney-branded On Demand offerings for kids, local sports content in select markets, plus the subscription Video On Demand service "Disney Family Movies."
• Start Over and Look Back - featured on a variety of Disney Media Networks content.
• ESPN Deportes - will be available to a larger Time Warner Cable footprint.
• ESPN 3D

Edit. Sorry this should have been an OT.

What pisses me off is when they come to an agreement that generally means our bills go up !!!

what pisses me off is that we named the fucking arena after Rogers (and in turn got exclusive Canuck games to fill their new station), and now Rogers is holding all of the local cable providers over a barrel to get the content.

I know it will get done in time, but you'd think they would have ironed things out before the big announcement.

Rogers must have paid for the naming rights though. Not sure what that cost but it must be a small fortune.
