If they remove channel 55 I will send zombies after them....what a bunch of d i c k s only 12 million people watching Walking Dead and Rogers may cut access to the channel. They got bombarded with emails, Facebook bombs and tweets after the crawl on Sunday night. They'd best listen people were raging.
I think they will back off.

If they do, I will go NetFlix and cut back down to basic cable because there are such few channels that I watch anyway. It's really only HBO for the most part. There are no shows that I watch other than Walking Dead on the lower channels. And I think I can get most of those programs from HBO on NetFlix anyway. Part of me hopes they do so I can justify saying screw ya and here's why Rogers. But I don't think they will now due to the hostile response generated after the crawl. If they do, they will lose a lot of money.
thanks for the links, I am getting tired of paying a crap load of money for over 300 stations when I only watch nine or ten at most.
Either we expect too much from the shows or it is beyond bad. I can't sit for a whole hour anymore, they don't hold my attention. When I try to get through a regular show I just sit and watch how they have spaced out the dialogue so they all get equal lines. And then I just get mad because the plots are so effing lame.
And I used to love movies. But most of them are dreck now too. I wake up at the end....zzzzzzzz... that's how engaging they are. And forget comedies... they don't make me laugh...I have tried a few, and they are funny two times around...then.....same old same old.
And they keep making the same movies over from 50 years ago...only they don't do the job as well. There's no character development so when they kill someone off, who cares! You have to care about the character or it's pointless.
Maybe THAT's the problem...lol...but I like to come home from work and have a glass of wine and chill out in front of the TV for a bit. Otherwise I can't get my fingers off of the keyboard and I spend waaaaaaaaaaay too much time on the computer. I was hoping for a bit of a distraction for the couple hundred bucks per month or 150.00 or whatever it is.
Yeah there were some good ones...then they vanished...okay, I'll go channel hunting or check out the BBC if they haven't removed that too.

A Kansas man who killed a woman because he thought she was a zombie will now spend about 17 years in the slammer for his actions.
Christopher Duane Wallace of Overland Park was sentenced Monday for the strangling and beating death of Jennifer Lopez, 35.
According to the Kansas City Star, Wallace was in a meth-induced state when he attacked Lopez in January 2016, believing she was a member of the undead.
Wallace told cops he had fallen asleep when Lopez woke him up. That's when he began to beat her, according to court documents.
Lopez was Wallace's roommate at the time of her demise.
The 38-year-old murderer pleaded no contest to second-degree murder charges in February. He was sentenced to 16 years and 11 months in prison.

Brits feared ye olde zombies

Medieval peasants were as terrified of ye olde zombies as much as the biggest Walking Dead geek, a new study reports.
Villagers in Yorkshire routinely burned and dismembered the skeletons of the recently departed. And the archeologists who authored the report say citizens were terrified of the living dead.
The time frame for the licking the living dead is the 11th to 13th centuries, they said of the burial site they exhumed.
“The patterning in knife-marks appears more consistent with decapitation and dismemberment, as documented as means of dealing with cases of reanimated corpses,” the study said, conducted by Historic England and the University of Southampton.
Archeologists analyzed 137 bone fragments from excavation sites in England dating back over 700 years to draw their conclusions.
And if zombie nation wasn’t wasn’t enough, the boffins have another twisted theory about the odd cuts on the bones — cannibalism.

Production on The Walking Dead in Georgia has been shut down following a sickening injury to a stuntman.
John Bernecker is fighting for his life in an Atlanta hospital after falling 30 feet onto a concrete floor.
He is currently under the watch of top neurosurgeons, and producers of the TV zombie series have opted to halt production as they await medical updates.
“We are saddened to report that John Bernecker, a talented stuntman for The Walking Dead and numerous other television shows and films, suffered serious injuries from a tragic accident on set,” TV bosses at U.S. network AMC said in an official statement released on Thursday.
“He was immediately transported to an Atlanta hospital, and we have temporarily shut down production. We are keeping John and his family in our thoughts and prayers.”
Bernecker’s girlfriend Jennifer Cocker, who is a stuntwoman, previously posted an update on Facebook, stating: “John deserves to be seen by every neurosurgeon and doctor there is until one of them sees the life we all know he has in him and bring him back to us (sic).”
She added: “THIS ISNT FAIR.”

Stuntman dies after fall on 'The Walking Dead' set: Report

ATLANTA — A stuntman for “The Walking Dead” has died after falling on the Georgia set of the hit television show. It’s the first on-set death in the U.S. in nearly three years.
John Bernecker, 33, died about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at an Atlanta hospital after falling on the show’s set in Senoia, about 35 miles (56 kilometres) south of Atlanta, Coweta County Coroner Richard Hawk said Friday.
Bernecker died from blunt force trauma and his death is considered accidental, Hawk said.
“The Walking Dead,” the often-gory AMC show based on a comic series about people fighting to survive a zombie apocalypse, is filming its eighth season.
Phone and email messages left for AMC representatives were not immediately returned Friday.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration has opened an investigation, agency spokesman Michael D’Aquino said in an email Friday.
Bernecker’s passing is the first on-set death in the United States since an audio technician for the show “Cops” was killed during a shootout in Omaha, Nebraska, in August 2014. Cameraman Bryce Dion, 38, was killed at the scene of an attempted armed robbery at a fast-food restaurant by a stray bullet from an Omaha police officer.
Earlier that year, in February 2014, Sarah Jones, 27, died when a freight train slammed into a film crew shooting “Midnight Rider,” a movie about the life of singer Gregg Allman. The crash happened on a Georgia railroad bridge where the crew was filming actor William Hurt in a hospital bed that was placed on the tracks even though owner CSX Transportation had denied permission to production managers.
A lawsuit filed by Jones’ parents, who live in Columbia, South Carolina, is currently being tried in Chatham County State Court in Savannah. It says CSX shares equal blame with production managers, who never told Jones and other crew members they were trespassing. They say the railroad should have taken safety precautions to slow the train before the crash.
CSX attorneys have said any evidence that CSX failed to follow internal policies doesn’t prove the railroad was negligent. They insist the full blame lies with the “Midnight Rider” production managers. The director, Randall Miller, spent a year in jail after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter and criminal trespassing, and the film was never finished.
