In the Indy area, as of 12:00am, WISH TV was been replaced with Starz Family! Hopefully this ongoing dispute will be settled for the sake of the customers. I bet a lot of people will switch from Bright House to dish, directv, or at&t.
Here in Marion, it's a hell of a lot worse. After WANE disappeared, and now WPTA and WISE-TV are being dropped--I am canceling Bright House after 13 years. However, I am switching to satellite (after I buy my first home) and I have an outdoor antenna to get Fort Wayne stations.
I am already in hot water with my landlord about this.
During the dispute, I told the Indianapolis Star, "LIN's pulling of WISH/WNDY and WANE are simply a colossal [bleep] move." The dispute was settled between LIN and BHN on 10/29/08, but WANE did not return, and that only led me to believe that they weren't going to provide FWA stations anymore. I was right a couple of weeks ago when I learend that WPTA and WISE were bing removed.
I understand that BHN is trying their damnedest to keep costs low, but (in my opinion) not offering WANE, WPTA, and WISE-TV, and potentially WFFT is a deal-breaker for me.
In the meantime, I am using an outdoor antenna to get Indy and FWA stations over the air. I do get all Indy stations with no problem (except WISH and WTTK). However, I am having problems getting Fort Wayne stations.
I followed the directions and recommendations and only got WPTA. More details here
