This is a disgrace. Why would you want to drop a station that many people watch. This station is great for local news coverage and football if you drop this station you will be making a big mistake because you will lose most of your subscribers. BIG MISTAKE!!!

Don't drop the most watched news and local programming station in the Myrtle Beach area and replace it with another one of your mindless programming offerings. WBTW deserves to be part of our community carrying community programming that actually relates to the area. What connection does a shopping channel or reality show channel have to the local citizens? What corporate genius decided a few more bucks for a different channel was actually serving the public interest and necessity? Don't do it!

Time Warner has already dropped channels, but do you see the monthly payment go down on just basic cable. We have to do a contract in order to get the basic channels. Most people in the area have been watching WBTWTV for years and that is the channel they prefer.

We have already lost WPDE. WBTW is our only Pee Dee area station. This would be the tilting point for us to get satellite service and drop cable. Please do nor drop WBTW.

We are retired military and moved all over the country. We have never ever had a cable provider just eliminate one of our local stations before. We've already been unhappy with time Warner as a provider because of awful reception and very slim on the demand access as opposed to Verizon or Comcast that's less expensive and is a much better service and more demand and channels. Now of all things they threaten to take a LOCAL station??? We will switch to a different provider or direct tv. That was already a consideration but now confirmed.

Please don't drop WBTW. It has the best newscast in the Myrtle Beach Area. There the weather forecast we trust. My sick mother is very upset since the scroll across the screen. Please Keep WBTW.

When WBTW is dropped, drop Time Warner if in effected areas go to dish or any other carrier. Do not continue with a carrier who drops your favorite local news and programing. That is what I am planning on doing.

Dropping WBTW is about as stupid as Sampson saying; "Delilah, how 'bout giving me a haircut?"
Dropping such a great channel with such terrific programs is really DUMB!!!

I hope dropping WBTW causes Time Warner to lose MANY, MANY customers. If something is as well liked as WBTW, it makes no sense to drop it.
