Voom goes Boom

Cablevision Shutting Down Voom Service
From Associated Press

Cablevision Systems Corp., a New York-area cable television provider, is shutting down its high-definition satellite television service called Voom after failing to reach an agreement with its own chairman, who wanted to buy the remaining assets of the business.

The announcement from the Bethpage, N.Y.-based company puts an end to a fractious battle among members of the Dolan family, which runs Cablevision. Charles Dolan, the company's chairman and founder, had championed the service while his son James, who is chief executive, opposed it.

Cablevision shares fell 69 cents to $30.37 on the New York Stock Exchange.

bah cablevision... I am canceling OOL in a few days too... going to Verizon DSL... damn monopolies.
 
Well...glad I decided not to sign up.

Sucks for the first round buyers that coughed up the $700+ in startup fees it required. 🙁
 
Whoa, that's shitty. I remember reading at AVSforum about Charles Dolan trying to purchase the assets from Cablevision. I wonder why it fell through.

and Verizon isn't a monopoly? Both cable and telephone are monopolies.
 
Cablevision is evil. They've ruined the Knicks and MSG, and are ruining NYC's 2012 bid by opposing the Far West Side Stadium. The Dolans suck, that is all.

By the way, "Boom" means it's doing good. "Bust" means it's folding.
