It seams like people keep going in/out of agreements right before the deadline.

Thats great news! They get to have WFAA again! But what about the other two stations? Still no luck?
The agreement goes for all Belo-owned stations. Had they notmade an agreement, not only will they lose the Belo stations, but also the state news networks (e.g. TXCN) as well. Thank goodness the Charter customers didn't have to suffer through that.

Seems like it. Look at Dish Network back in 2004 before the CBS/Viacom split: When Dish had a dispute with them, their customers temporary lost all local CBS and UPN Stations as well as Showtime, The Movie Channel, Nickelodeon/Nick-At-Nite, MTV, VH1, BET, and all other networks owned by that company. In other words, kids were left high and dry without Spongebob Squarepants.

I have heard that Charter sucks, and it probably does (although I have yet to see that for myself, since Charter wasn't so bad for me when I stayed in its coverage area). However, at this point, I would take ANY cable provider over the supreme monopoly known as Comcast  :censored:
TWC in...
Lansing: Comcast, Channel 36, STAR ID 22840
E. Lansing: Comcast, Channel 40, STAR ID 22842
Lansing Area: Broadstripe, Channel 40, STAR ID 25349
Current STAR count: 32. Be sure to see my channel for links to all the uploads!
