Do they set it up as a monopoly, for the company, what would be the reason?, if you have any idea, why the regulations would allow only one cable company?.. Is competition not allowed? It seems the fix is in some place and the only people who suffer are the customers.

Question for you, if I called TWC & told them I lost my job, I want to continue with cable but give me time so I can work this out, do you really think TWC would say ok there are more things to worry about?

Please wait...
We may possilby get more local news from the Pennsylvaia affiliate,we sure aren,t getting very much from wptz,Vermont,wptz New Hampshire,remember when it was WPTZ North Pole with Byrd Berdan how weather man , Oh, we will get this station back and New Channels will have a reason to raise our rates again,such is life in the north country. We pay and pay nothing will change , but it does feel good to vent once and a while.

I waited for 15 minutes and finally hung up. Apparently they don't have supervisors who want to talk to you, or they are so busy they can't get to you,,, I can tell you one thing ,however, my Time WARNER BILL ,will arrive on time, and it will be the same as last month even thought I no longer can get WPTZ news..With only one cable company in this area, they can do what they want, what we need is another cable company,, the dish networks do not cut it as far as I am concerned, Why is there only one cable service here,, any one know?? ....Well as far as WPTZ it was all from Vermont nothing really of northern NY or surounding areas so no big deal they are gone really

The telegram has an excellent editor. The only problem with this editor is that the commentary is a bit too advanced for some readers.

I don't miss WPTZ at all. Actually I think it's taking a bigger chance by not settling than T/W. People will be able to get NBC shows on whatever NBC affiliate T/W shows.
The only thing we lose is the extensive coverage of Vermont news. WPTZ hasn't covered northern NY news in years.
WVNY and WCAX both provide much more coverage. In fact, WVNY had a significant story this morning about the Franklin County Bed Tax proposal. My guess is that WPTZ didn't, but I can't prove that since it's off the air.
I don't care if we get WPTZ or not, and that loss of viewership is the risk Hearst is taking.

Who's going to miss hearing what happens in St.Albans and Burlington every day? There are a lot of people who are going to miss Tom Messner though.

What about DirectTV? In this area. Any opinions? Thanks

That would be one solution to this issue but in Malone there is more enjoyment found in CRYING about a problem , not solving it. If you need an example just drive through our downtown area anytime.

The freak desperate to imitate me is staying up past 3 am to get his frenzied, irrelevant message in. He is also the Nuts Yup. Let's all drive Freak Boy back to his own private nightmare.

I recently purchased TWC Digital Explorer pack for the Olympic Games, but after that is over I am going back to the basic 12 channels + Netflix. Hulu Plus also now offers streaming programs including many popular television series. Cable is too expensive and not worth it. Time Warner Cable is a rip off, their customer service is very poor and they are constantly raising their rates. Roadrunner is super expensive. In other markets the prices are sometimes 1/2 what they are for DSL and or Broadband internet. Hopefully Malone will get another internet company.

WPTZ is not local news if you live in Malone. The are in a different county, and focus on news from a different state. Who cares about the local gossip anyway? just the facts wrote: <quoted text>You must be kidding an NBC affiliate out of Pennsylvania, get real, how does that help with local news?

They won't lose too many over it. Some people just like to have something to cry about. You may know someone like that actually.

So, Tool. Apparently you haven't noticed that the same Freak is being Nuts Yup and Fake Me. Sometimes he does the semi-reasonable routine, like the above. Mostly he is abusive and disgusting. Racism and right wing wack job crap is his forte. The more disgusting and insane the better. He tracks and tries to imitate the posters he feels are most articulate. So most of the abusive and inane posts you attribute to Yup, and Malonian, are this creep I refer to as the Midnight Scratcher. You will grow to understand the name. Try to recognize the loathsome Trolls. They matter on this site.

I also have what appears to be a psychopath trying to imitate me. It doesn't bother me at all though. I would want to be me if I was them also It is some what flattering but the problem I have with the emulator is that he is not doing too well in the IQ department. Please.....will someone try to be like me that has at least as AVERAGE IQ? That would feel much, much ,better than the confused red neck stalker who keep's fallowing me around. I can smell the cow manure coming right off his posts.
