Last night I hung out with someone who works for TWC and they told me some interesting info:
1) They had a deal with MSG, through a verbal agreement and when the lockout ended MSG changed the deal.
2) There has been little to no complaining or cancellations of service from Knicks fans - basically TWC think Knicks fans don't care because the team is bad. If the team was as good as in the 90's they would have taken the deal. The website they set up for complaints and info barely gets any hits and they are not getting a lot of calls.
3) the biggest complainers are the Buffalo Sabers fans and they are doing the most for them.
I think MSG gambled that the Knicks were going to be a top team and they have not come together. If they were winning maybe there would be more pressure to solve this but overall it seems like Knicks fans don't have much resolve when it comes to forcing TWC or MSG's hand.
I think it says a lot about the state of the Knicks.
