We're not sure how this demand will be received, but the American Cable Association's argument is simple: if only
Time Warner Cable and
Bright House Networks subs are in danger of
losing MTV Networks channels at the stroke of midnight, why are we all bothered with an annoying crawl message? Of course, that plea is couched by statements backing TWC and BHN's reluctance to agree to new higher programming fees, but those of us eagerly anticipating a Miley-Sized surprise during tonight's NYE celebration that have a different provider could do without the interruptions.

I have Comcast, but I don't generally watch Viacom channels, the only acception is Palladia which I view often.
Hopefully it will be resolved.
As for a scrawl over that show, I am all for it, even I know that guy is a jerk when I don't watch MTV.
