In New York City there is a dispute between the companies Cablevision and News Production. This feud is the about the fact that Cablevision needs to pay more to gain access to News Productions programs. News Productions feels they deserve more money. While Cablevision says that in order to give more money they would have to raise the customers cable bills. Also, Cablevision feel that right now companies shouldn't be taking more money from people that have so little in this depression.
A big problem with this feud is the network FOX has been in a blackout of programing, which can be very bad because the World Series is coming up this week and FOX network is covering it. Much of the New York area would not be able to see it if the dispute is not resolved before. This is hurting both companies, but this is not all bad for everyone, other cable companies such as Verizon and DirecTV are offering Cablevision customers special sign up offers to switch providers.
I personally agree with the side of Cablevision, in the fact that people don't have the money to spend and should have access to basic cable networks such as FOX.
