Time Warner Cable customers in the Austin area lost NBC programming at 12:01 a.m. this morning—the result of an ongoing contract dispute between the owner of network affiliate KXAN and the cable giant.
Since I do not watch football, this is not an emergency...yet.
If this goes on for much longer I will be missing:
- Saturday Night Live
- Chuck
- My Own Worst Enemy
- The Biggest Loser
- My Name Is Earl
- The Office
- America's Toughest Jobs
- 30 Rock
I had always thought it was a Federal Mandate that Cable Companies must carry all of the local channels. I guess that was trumped by Deregulation and Greed. Now I will have to audit reruns to make sure they were not episodes that slipped by.
On the positive side I could spend the extra time with my family.

It sure would be great if there was some type of technology that let you "beam through the air" TV stations. Maybe one day.
