October 17th Letter to Time Warner Cable Subscribers:
Dear Time Warner Cable Subscribers,
By way of an update, we continue to devote tremendous time and resources to our negotiations with Time Warner Cable, with the hopes of reaching a fair deal. I assure you we are working days, nights and weekends and our efforts are focused on securing a contract. Unfortunately, we can not predict if, or when, we will reach a deal. In the meantime, it is important for you to know that you can still access our station's programming. Time Warner subscribers can receive our station's analog and high-definition signals over the air by using an antenna or through another multi-channel provider. As you know, we have reached deals with all other major cable, satellite and telecommunications companies, all of whom recognize that they must pay for a product that they resell to their customers for a profit. Thank you for all of your tremendous support. Our stations provide a valuable product and we are proud of what we can offer the local community.
Christopher A. Musial
President and General Manager

Dear Chris,
Hear that flushing sound? It's your advertising revenue going down the toilet. A continued FU to LIN & TW.

PS Stop patronizing me with your rabbit ear antenna crap. This is 2008, not 1950.
