Cablevision Makes New Offer To News Corp.

2010_10_newscorp.jpg Perhaps, in order to keep baseball-loving customers appeased, Cablevision has issued this statement regarding its transmission fee talks with News Corp.: “In the interest of Cablevision’s 3 million households and our mutual viewers, today we have made a new offer to News Corp. Simply put: we agree to pay the rate Fox charges Time Warner Cable for carriage of WNYW-Fox 5 New York and WTXF-Fox 29 Philadelphia for a period of one year. This is higher than the rate we pay any other New York broadcast station. This solution is in the best interest of not only baseball fans but of all Cablevision customers and Fox viewers. We look forward to a positive response.”

    as a fascist right-wing mouthpiece, surely news corp should have been paying cablevision to carriage their hateful tripe and infect their three million viewers with distorted rantings only very loosely based in fact?

    What an utter waste of money. They should've invested into fixing their decrepit billing systems instead.
