The hissy fit standoff between Time Warner and CBS, which has resulted in a few big markets having CBS blacked out, is ending up where everyone knew it would: in court. But maybe not exactly how everyone thought it would get there.
Time Warner has been slapped with a class-action lawsuit...by the viewers.
Unfortunately for the viewers, neither CBS nor Time Warner care what the viewers think. Time Warner cable has a monopoly in these areas, so they don't care if viewers are upset. Where are they gonna go? CBS doesn't even call them viewers anymore--they call them consumers. Something to sell to the only people that matter to them...the advertisers. Both parties only care about the dollars. That's what this is all about.
But maybe the viewers will force a resolution.
