ABC afraid or smart?

The question at hand is " do I think that fear of negative PR influenced ABC's decision to continue to have its programming on Cablevision until they work out their contract?"

I wonder did ABC fear or where they playing a very wise fine line. Fear of bad publicity may have caused ABC to come back to Cablevision but I believe its just a bit too coincidental that programing happened to return on one of the biggest night of the year. Just before the Academy Awards...accident! i think not!

All the drama and stir up in the media about the cablevision feuds had customers talking. Whether bad PR or good PR, ABC and cabelvision where being spoken about in the homes of many people. After all the hype, it is no wonder that programing came back on a night of a huge event. If ABC would have came back for the 10:00 news not much excitement would have been stirred up.


This deal is a win win situation. Both Cabelvision and ABC look good for please their customers in the end and putting their disputes aside. Cabelvision stated "We are very grateful to our customers for their support and pleased to welcome ABC back"
