TW, who wants to increase their profit margin to get more of your $, or Hearst (WMUR) who wants to increase their profit margin to get more of your $?

Both sides are trying to make the other look like the bad guy. One thing is for sure, the existing agreement will NOT be renewed. No matter how a new agreement plays out, the price will go up, and the consumer will get stuck with the bill.

On January 1, the locally owned Waterville Valley cable tv, SkiSat Cable, was sold to Time Warner. With the recent shut-off of channel 9-WMUR by Time Warner, Waterville Valley still gets local news from Vermont and Maine which are actually a lot better than WMUR ever was and done with less flash, but no New Hampshire local news....and no Tennis Channel........boo-hoo!

NECN probably has the best local news stuff anyway ......

I'm not kidding here, they had EVERY station from Boston-Manchester plus 1 station from Portland on the lineup including my favorite station WGBH-TV Channel 2 PBS In Boston, they never offed any stations from Burlington, although they did have WNNE sometime in the 1990's though, the only way people could get stations out of Burlington was by sattelite dish. But now that Time Warner of Plymouth has bought the locally owned cable company Skisat in which they bought it around Sep-Oct 2011, this is what their lineup consists of now as of January 1, 2012:

I just can't believe they got rid of every TV Station from Boston from their lineup except for WBZ & WHDH and replaced them with Burlington stations, at least they brought back WNNE to Waterville Valley, if only Time Warner had not bought Skisat in the 1st place then they would've still had ALL the stations from Boston and still not get any stations from Burlington for a little bit longer, and WMUR would've still been on the lineup if Time Warner did not buy Skisat, but they just had to, and it sucks now dosen't it?
