Charter Dropping KMOV?

Charter is giving another reason for people to hate them. On the official KMOV web site, it says, "By law, cable companies must negotiate in good faith with television stations before dropping the TV stations’ signals. KMOV has been trying for months to get Charter to negotiate seriously. But Charter has been too busy trying to get the government to approve mergers worth $64 billion to worry about keeping KMOV on its lineup in St. Louis. Those mergers will make big-cable Charter even bigger – four times bigger! It will be one of the largest cable companies in the world.

If Charter does not reach an agreement to carry KMOV, KMOV’s programming will not be available on Charter systems after April 30, 2016. Charter will drop all of KMOV's top-rated programs, including News 4, The Big Bang Theory, NCIS, The Amazing Race, Survivor and 60 Minutes."

If this does happen, it'll be ridiculous! If you live in St. Louis, you're bound to watch KMOV (channel 4) from time to time. Now I'm happy that my grandma doesn't have cable because most of her favorite shows are on KMOV. Charter, get your act together!
