On our box,they are all blocked. But I read the information about this mess on the TWC website and it indicates that the Triangle is not one of the affected cities.

So I'm asking - are you getting these channels on your TWC box?

Nope, as of yesterday, they were all showing "no data available" on the guide.
WRAL was reporting that TW customers will be getting a credit on their bill until the issues are resolved. That better be the case!

From TWC:

CBS Corporation, the owner of several TV networks and broadcast TV stations, has made outrageous demands for the right to continue delivering their programming to our customers. As a result, several CBS-owned channels have been removed from your lineup while we continue to negotiate for fair and reasonable terms.

We deeply regret being forced into this position by CBS, but we're prepared to stand by our customers and do what it takes to fight these unreasonable demands.

The affected channels are:
CBS Owned-and-Operated TV stations in the following cities:
Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York and Pittsburgh ONLY
Showtime
The Movie Channel
Flix
Smithsonian Channel

So TWC is accidentally blocking WRAL even though they have nothing to do with it? If true I guess it shows they really are incompetent.

I'm in Cary and still have WRAL with TWC. I just don't get the other channels, but I don't subscribe to those channels anyways.

Okay, CBS is back on my TWC provided box, but SHO and TMC are still gone. I'd be switching to Dish or DirectTV immediately, if they didn't require a contract!

Well WRAL should not have been removed, but Showtime, The Movie Channel, Flix and Smithsonian was included in the blackout

I cancelled my TWC except for internet and got a LEAF antenna, NetFlix and Amazon Prime. My cable bill is all of $8.00 now and I have all the shows I want.
