In particular, subscribers may be unable to watch Game 1 of Major League Baseball National League

Championship Series between the Philadelphia Phillies against the Giants in San Francisco on Saturday night.

Surf to viewers of these channels have been found with a message loop called the action Cablevision News Corp. "an act of corporate greed" and shows the media giant has been demanding "lavish spending" to make their programming. The message encourages viewers to call a line 877 to say about News Corp., is "unfair to hold hostage to their own customers." TV9 s News Corp, WTIC 25 and 24 are still broadcast WCTX.


Local reaction ranged from indifference to indignation and disgust, even in this rider business at the expense of cable subscribers. "We're not going to affect us much more than cable, DirecTV and a sport package, so you can find whatever," said a server service in Seagrape Cafe in Fairfield. "We also Yankee fans more and the fans of college football today, so there is little interest in the CNT. "

Seagrape Chief Don Trumbull added by saying: "... I understand what's happening, they seem to have their own agendas and barking at each other They should stop this and let people enjoy their sport

Standing beside him, Geoff Bagshaw, 31, of Boston, said: ". I'm not in this area, but if it were, would be broken because I could not watch the game and promises to be a great pitcher duel "

Archie Moore in Fairfield, Gary Goldfield, 50, of Bridgeport, said: "I'm not worried about not having these channels I can get what I want in an affiliate WTIC If I could, I'd be very worried .. "

"If what Cablevision says is true, then it is the greed of FOX," continued Goldfield. "The channels are taken hostage by cable cable companies are caught in -. and satellite service providers and others, too"

Sitting near a cabin with a child under 4 years old, Ryan, Martin Blake, 41, of Weston said he intended to watch Game 1.

"Fortunately, I get to see on another channel, if it does not bother my night. In general, however, it is a shame that these companies do before a big event, fans who are also their customers suffer . If they were really concerned about their customers, who had to leave. "

Ryan added: "Whenever I see my Nick Jr., we're fine."

Colony Grill in Fairfield, Steven Feinstein, 57, of Westport, said: "It would be worrying if we could not see the game tonight and, more importantly, the football tomorrow, I think all that If you buy services. cable programming should be available. It's not just that customers are used as pawns. "
