When are we going to get WANE-TV back on Mediacom Cable? It has been five weeks since we didn't have the WANE station - CBS has a lot of good programs. CBS used to be a free station - now you are charging an amount that Mediacom doesn't feel they should pay. PLEASE NEGOTIATE WITH THEM AT A PRICE THEY FEEL THEIR CUSTOMERS CAN AFFORD!!!!
Thank you for caring???

This is about it.. You LIN people really need to stop with this s***. Im tired of u and dish network not being able to work out an agreement. I do not have my NBC and it is a local channel for me.. My family watch it alot and to have u cut the signle is BS.. this is not about Dish. its about US.. THE PEOPLE.. U expect us to buy an antenna when most of us do not have the funds for this.. Its hard enough paying for what we have now. I want my Channel back on.

Being disabled, am unable to visit a sports bar to
view my favorite, NASCAR. I can only hope your
contract with NASCAR expires soon and then I'll
never have to watch NBC/Wavy/Fox again.
Money is the root of all evil and you're plain old
evil.

I don't appreciate losing the local FOX channel. I don't understand how blocking large numbers of people from watching your channel will benefit you or your sponsors. Make no mistake, we will still watch TV but we simply won't watch your offerings. So I guess you can all party by yourselves.

HOW DARE YOU IDIOTS REMOVE Channels 13 and 2 from DISH network. CORPORATE GREED at its finest. I hope your constituents run you out of business. I will do all I can to make this happen. You know the old adage that an unhappy customer tells 10 people whereas a happy customer tells only a few. Well...I plan to tell everyone I know that you people SUCK.

It is moronic to put a show like The Office when it can be see on so many other stations and yet the only FREE W.W.E. show, Smackdown, is pulled. This is a trasity. How many times a day does a person need to a media whore like Tyra Banks? She was NEVER hot, and with such a large forehead, she act likes she lacks a brain.

How is it that you can just take our progragging channel off because you and TimeWarner are feuding over money when we are already paying all kind of money up the kazoo already. We desevere at least a few channel's that remain free. You and Time Warner need to get together do someting that will benefit your costemer's within the community. If it wasn't for your coustemr's
