Although, Jeff..it has more to do with ohio than the hate posts seen here
recently.  ;o)

I heard that TW cannot bring in another affiliate, since WBNS "exists" in
this area.  Fun theory to read, however! Quite frankly, agreeing with the
premise of what you wrote the only ones to lose will be wbns. If they are
forced to stay on TW, they will see it as a loss.  If they are pulled off
and noone watches them, they will see it as a loss.

The only ones I see who venture to gain is Ameritech through Americast.
After seeing the lousy service we get on telephone service, however... there
is NO WAY I would ever leave Time Warner.  Now.. tw customers dropping
Dispatch subscriptions en masse  could be an interesting movement.  Too bad
they are the only daily game in town.
