New Yorkers Won't Know Who The Oscar Goes To!

All the way in Hollywood, we can hear the angered grumblings of disappointed New Yorkers who won't be watching the Academy Awards tonight.

The cable provider Cablevision cut the subscription to ABC for it's customers after the service provider and the network could not reach a deal on a new contract. This is the second time Cablevision has been in hot water with it's customers after cutting a channel. Late last year, the server had disagreements with the Food Network/HGTV and a similar scenario ensued.

The general manager of WABC, released a statement this morning shortly after the feed was cut for subscribers. She said:

"Cablevision has once again betrayed its subscribers by losing ABC7, the most popular station in the tri-state area. This follows two years of negotiations, during which we worked diligently, up to the final moments, to reach an agreement. Cablevision pocketed almost $8 billion last year, and now customers aren't getting what they pay for ... again."

It does seem rather ridiculous. And it's not just the Oscars they will be missing. Depending on how long this goes, this means not Desperate Housewives, no Grey's Anatomy, no Lost!

Geez, how will you couch potatoes of the tri-state area survive!

See what the power of greed can do!
