Cablevision Sues Viacom



Ah, you gotta like it when the big boys get all pissy with each other. From this morning's New York Times...

"To all the cable customers who have ever wondered, “Why am I paying so much money for channels I never watch?” Cablevision has an answer: it’s Viacom’s fault. The cable distributor on Tuesday sued Viacom, the owner of MTV and Nickelodeon, saying that the company violated antitrust law by bundling those big channels with barely known ones like Tr3s and Palladia, in that way forcing cable companies and their customers to pay for channels that few people watch."
