Be advised Time Warner; if you lose Fox channels, you are going to lose me as a long time customer!

If FOX's programming is so valuable, FOX should be charging their advertisers a higher rate. As a viewer, I have to endure 8 minutes of commercials for 22 minutes of programming. The viewer shouldn't have to pay a higher premium for a family of channels that feature advertising.

@ TP Hunt: Are you willing to have your cable bill go up another dollar just to keep FOX? We, the subscribers, are the ones who have to pay for the increase.

Time Warner is not at fault. It is the greedy individuals at FOX who threaten to cut service if their demands are not met. I suggest that concerned viewers contact FOX, not Time Warner, and let them know how they feel.

We had to endure this same situation approximately a year ago with the MTV family of networks. Our cable rates increased shortly thereafter.
