...and not because I'm a fan. It isn't that I hate it, I just can't honestly say I've watched it but once. On the VOD channel. I never watch Palladium or a bunch of other channels on my lineup, but I have to stand up for this as freedom of content choice.

Time Warner Cable has bigger issues on their hands, but this is an indicator of the direction they're going. They want everything to go through the Road Runner Reich when it comes to programming.

I like that I could on a whim watch Swamp Thing for free (ad supported) last year. So much of the cable landscape is so disgustingly generic, it's nice for there to be alternatives.

So what gives, does TWC not get a big enough cut for their liking? How much more sense does this all make than the Great NBC-KXAN Blackout of 2008? Did those "How to Connect Your Computer to Your TV" videos backfire?
