Time Warner Cable Drops Current TV Upon Sale To Al Jazeera

5. Wake up with Stephanie

Yesterday I woke up to find the 1090 station I was streaming Stephanie on, had changed to a sports format. So I found another from Chicago. Now this morning first thing, I get hit with this news. I usually record Steph at another location on Current TV and watch it later. It's on Comcast. So the new year, looking kind of crappy so far--clearly others have bigger problems.

As far as them changing to Al Jazeera, hey, after seeing the corporate millionaires fudge-fests on the weekend, with This Week, and the other millionaire boys' clubs' discussions, I'm sure Al Jazeera is going to be more accurate anyway.

I hope they don't drop all of the hosts. I think Stephanie has put on great morning ratings.

Anyway, like you said, I just bought a ROKU, and have been thinking of downsizing the tier to Digital Starter, which would have lost Current TV. It just makes my decision more easily made, since that was the only sticking point.

I had a subscription to Netflix, I use VUDU, and I just got another one from Hulu--it has some interesting original content, a lot of British and oriental television I've found interesting. It's more intelligent humor, even on the sitcoms.

So a big FU to American media outlets. I'll find it on the radio, I'll find it on the Internet if I have to.
