Look, I totally get CABLEVISION's position. And yes, FOX is way out of line, as far as I understand things. CABLEVISION is agreeable to binding arbitration; FOX is not. I get all that.
But Cablevision, Please, do not insult my intelligence.
On it's own merit and for Cablevision's part, FOX requiring Gov't Waivers in order to own and operate multiple media enterprises within the same market, is a valid argument with-in the context of Cablevision's issues with FOX.
But I have a problem because the messenger renders it hollow.
CABLEVISION owns two of my favorite teams; the Knicks and Rangers. They own the arena I pay to see them play in. They own the cable channel I watch my favorite teams on and they own the cable outlet I subscribe to, so as to watch that channel and view two of my favorite teams play. CABLEVISION/MSG effectively blocked the West Side Stadium Project which would have given the Jets their own home with-in the city. The Dolans, because I am an emotionally invested fan, wield much power with-in my Fan-Following Experience. They fall slightly short of a monopoly. They have a direct impact over a broad scope of my entertainment and it's been a negative experience for many years. So ease up on arrogant corporate behavior. You guys are one to talk.
So won't you please!?! ~ Stop all the nonsense; Both of you! Get a deal done so I can watch Giants Football and Playoff Baseball.
This is Ridiculous!

John Mara & Jeff Wilpon Speak-out..kinda. HEY DOLAN!!!
John Mara, my dude! - Ripped into his team at season's end and said the results of this season was akin to a
2-14 pathetic effort. He is angry and he wants everyone working for Big Blue to know it. Good FOR HIM! And good for us too!
Today, Omar Minaya, but more importantly Jeff Wilpon tried showing a less dark disposition with regards to Ownership's wishes, plans, direction and fan perceptions. Whatever. Normally it wouldn't take much for me to go into a tangent about the Wilpons (and by the way I want to hear from FRED). But today, although I would've liked to see him a little less rosy about his MetLook, Jeff said and touched on everything I usually complain about with regards to METropolis. I'm agreeable with what Jeff and Omar had to say today at the JASON BAY press conference.
OK....uh
HEY DOLAN!!!? You wanna say something to us? My other owners are talking to me loud and clear as of today. Care to add something to this conversation? Could you explain to me why Glen Sather's BLUEprint for perpetual mediocracy is so appealing to you? Just wondering. Or are you just going to jack-up my cable bill to pay for your MSG renovation? Couldn't you just get "This Old House"?. I can't wait to read my future cable bills for the answer to that!
This guy "theDolan(s)" owns my favorite hockey team, my favorite basketball team until the NETS come to BROOKLYN when I'll have to rethink things, the arena I go see and root their play in, the channel I watch their games on and the cable outlet I get my service from. Do you think we deserve to hear from him more often? I do!!
I heard from an angry John Mara and a bland Jeff Wilpon in the last two days. Hey Dolan, drop your guitar for a few moments and tell me why the Rangers are spinning their tires in the Glen-Sather-Cap-Mud.
You've been trying to take Cablevision private for a while now. You spun-off the Rangers/Knicks/MSG from the parent company. Why do I get the feeling my cable bill is going to increase once the MSG renovation gets into full swing? Talk to me JIM!
