GOOD NEWS!! Cablevision & Scripps reach deal
i haven't had a chance to check but HGTV & food network should be back on!!!!!
Scripps Networks and the cable distributor Cablevision announced a new carriage deal Thursday afternoon, restoring two popular cable channels, the Food Network and HGTV, to the television lineups of about three million households.
The announcement by the companies ends a three-week dispute over how much Cablevision subscribers should pay for the Food Network and HGTV.
About three million cable households in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut were affected by the absence of the channels, fueling customer complaints to both companies.
BETHPAGE, NY and CINCINNATI, OH, January 21, 2010 – Cablevision Systems Corp. (NYSE: CVC) and Scripps Networks Interactive (NYSE: SNI) today announced that they have reached an agreement allowing for the return of Food Network and HGTV programming to Cablevision customers in the New York Tri-State region beginning today.
Both companies noted that their primary focus throughout the process was to work as hard as possible to return Food Network and HGTV to Cablevision customers at the soonest possible date

Re: GOOD NEWS!! Cablevision & Scripps reach deal
Wow... an entire 21 days without service. People thought the world was going to come to an end. 
So was the actual terms disclosed on the deal? I am curious which side ended up "giving in". I figured there would be no way Scripps would be able to sustain holding out, due to their financial problems.

Re: GOOD NEWS!! Cablevision & Scripps reach deal
I wonder if Cablevision "gave in" -- I know several people who made the switch to Direct TV because of it.
And from what I know they are all saving money with the Switch.
