Another media fight that could impact Green Bay:
Time Warner might be losing Viacom cable channels (Comedy Central, CMT: Pure Country, Logo, Palladia, MTV, MTV 2, MTV Hits, MTV Jams, MTV Tr3s, Nickelodeon, Noggin, Nick 2, Nicktoons, Spike, The N, TV Land, VH1, VH1 Classic, and VH1 Soul) because of a disagreement over fees.
Time Warner will respond to Viacom’s advertisement, Mr. Dudley said, by highlighting the availability of television content on the Internet. “We will be telling our customers exactly where they can go to see these programs online,” Mr. Dudley said. “We’ll also be telling them how they can hook up their PCs to a television set.”
On a totally unrelated note, I'm not sure what to make of, this:
"Divine Temple, 425 Cherry St., is hosting an adult spelling bee at 2 p.m. Saturday.The fee to watch the spelling bee is $5 for per adult and $1 per school-age child. Call (920) 436-9740 for information."

Hey Dan.
The Spelling Bee as community event has a long history in the African American community, especially in the South. Along with fashion shows, the Spelling Bee is a reliable fundraiser for many predominantly AA congregations. Not any weirder than paying for booyah, IMHO.
