Cutting the Cord? Time Warner Loses 184,000 TV Subscribers In One Quarter

Mr D from 63 (3395377) writes Time Warner Cable's results have been buoyed recently by higher subscriber numbers for broadband Internet service. In the latest period, however, Time Warner Cable lost 184,000 overall residential customer relationships [Note: non-paywalled coverage at Bloomberg and Reuters]. The addition of 92,000 residential high-speed data customers was offset by 184,000 fewer residential video customers in the quarter. Triple play customers fell by 24,000, while residential voice additions were 14,000.

    Only if you want news biased to a conservative, American ego-centric sources.

    If you think you're getting the truth by watching those three sources, you're sadly mistaken. CNN hasn't been an objective source of news for over a decade now. Fox never was.

    Add some international stuff to your news, because with only 3 US sources, you're pretty far from objective truth and balanced coverage.

    Well, I"m not that interested frankly, in the news of the world for the most part...why would I?

    I don't expect that much of the world to be that interested in US news...?

    But really....I watch a swath of new channels from the right (Fox) to the far left (MSNBC) and the more moderate ones....and try to get my own sense of balance between all of them.

    It was a bit of a joke but also based on the truth.

    No, there really is no unbiased news in the US...hence a good reason to watch them all, and make your own decision.

    But what happens outside of the US, has very little impact on the average US citizens life....
