While being a 'bell baby' i know we don't agree on the breakup and such, but i do agree 100% that its not "your father's at&t", so to speak.

. It's owned by AT&T (another company that has little to do with its namesake, the name having been acquired). 

So Saturday a Walmart package was dropped off. not mine. No address to where i could run it over to them.  Never came back to collect it.   So I returned it to Walmart today when i was out and about. They looked at me funny "why didn't you just keep it" "um, its not mine.."

It says a lot about where we are today when honest people are judged .. for being honest.

Just noticed today that Disney also owns ABC..   The ones hosting the debate.  So that is blacked out too if no deal is reached in time.

Coincidence? 

Sure, there will be alternative sources, but it would effect a lot of people that are not smart enough. "my TV is blank, i guess i cant watch it"

I do believe that Walt would be horrified to see the disgusting company that still bears his name. Zombie Walt needs to come around and dispatch them.

DirecTV is another giant, though. It's owned by AT&T (another company that has little to do with its namesake, the name having been acquired). Carriage disputes happen all the time, though.

Ya, just never noticed. Not big into that TV/Movie stuff so don't pay attention.

Disney has owned ABC for almost 30 years. Even before that, they had a bit of a relationship. I remember watching "The Wonderful World of Walt Disney" (back when it was wonderful, because Walt) on ABC when I was just a little IG.

oooo possible major IT outages again today.  I know at the office we are struggling .. lots of stuff not working, but some is... ( and things across VPN wont work, but from web it will... )

cool.
