No "Heroes" for me tonight.....

[poltr1]

Last Friday, Time Warner cable dropped the signal for my local NBC affiliate (WDTN-TV, Channel 2) after they couldn't come to terms. In the interim, they've replaced the empty channel with HBO Family.

I'm not too happy about this. 2News is my favorite local news. NewsCenter7 is too white-bread-and-mayonnaise for me, and Dayton's News Source (on ABC22 and Fox45) are a bunch of amateurs.

I don't know what to do except wait. I'd rather not drop the cable; I'm locked into a 2-year plan.

We are locked in also, but if they don't resolve this soon we'll take the cancellation fee and switch to Dish or DirecTV.

We have to have keep the internet portion of TWC, but I checked and we can get that separately.

Free antennas at your local TWC office. -- Dagonell

In Buffalo it's Channels 4 (the local CBS affiliate) and 23 that they've dropped. Hadn't realized the problem was more widespread than that.

Kind of makes me wonder if both stations have the same owner/parent.

[cigfran-cg.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they're both owned by Lin TV

Interesting. WDTN is also owned by Lin TV.

If you like 2News, watch it at 10PM on CW/26. Same news, same news anchors as 2News @ 11PM.

We have been catching that broadcast for the past year. I miss other programs on NBC - the national news program, Heroes and Jeopardy to name a few.

Don't be hasty and switch to a satellite service! We were loyal DirecTV customers, we moved just 2 miles from our previous home and were dumped from ALL local network chanels (ABC, NBC, Fox etc) Because we can pick up these channels with an antenna (according to FCC). We tried arguing for several months and filed many forms to try to get these stations. The closest network affiliate is in Dayton, 80 miles away. We CAN NOT pick up those stations with an antenna! Blah. So, we are being forced into TWC.
