2 :45 AM Update::
NOW Time Warner has a Recording on their Phone Line saying that NOTHING will be dropped while Negogiations are ongoing...I hope that is true...I was not able to talk to a Rep....will try one more time....

We would die without Stephen Colbert and John Stewart.....Period...I can not bear to tell 6-6 about this...Without the Daily Show and Stephen and Keith this year....wow , HOW would we have survived...

3 AM Update::
Reached Time Warner Rep....so nice...reassured me that THEY are working to negogiate this deal and that there are extensions in the contract so on the First we should not lose these channels...( I called Billing to check on my bill anyways...) So it sounds like the Negogiations are Ongoing....Have Hope Folks....
