And the loser is...

....anyone with Cablevision. As of 2 pm on Oscar telecast Sunday our local cable carrier does NOT have ABC-tv - the broadcaster of the program. That channel was knocked off line at midnight last night due to a money (big surprise) dispute between Cablevision and Disney...DISNEY????? holy shit - If Walt was alive he'd never let this happen. He soothed all our souls when he was alive...we had the Mickey Mouse Club, the Disney Sunday show, all sorts of movies including Son of Flubber, Snow White, Lady and the Tramp..damn, isn't he frozen somewhere. Can't somebody thaw him out and get him to settle this before 9 pm?

So there will probably be no time killing with the Academy Awards tonight. Maybe they will settle before that. I am really just a casual viewer but I did see most of the movies. There are 3 million subscribers affected and many who are involved in the industry. So unless you have an alternate carrier (Fios, Dish, Direct TV) you better break out the blow torches and start working on Walt...
