\"Time<\/a>I originally posted this on Facebook. Enough people enjoyed it that I decided to put it on my blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

But this blog is supposed to be about Radio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Okay, Dan, let’s come up with an excuse for publishing this satire about the Time Warner Cable vs. CBS Television fiasco on a radio blog\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

Got it! <\/span><\/p>\n

“Hey, guys! If you’re in a market that’s affected by the CBS blackout on Time Warner Cable, feel free to adapt this for a comedy bit on your radio program.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

See how easy that was?<\/span><\/p>\n


\nTime Warner just sent me an email apologizing…<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

“for any inconvenience caused by this current broadcast channel blackout\u2026.To show our appreciation for your business we\u2019d like you to enjoy a Movie On Demand on us.”<\/span><\/p>\n

To watch the free Movie On Demand, I’m supposed to…<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

“Just Follow These 3 Simple Steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

“1.\u00a0 See What’s Available.<\/span><\/p>\n

“2.\u00a0 Watch Your Selection.<\/span><\/p>\n

“3. After watching your movie, go to twc.com\/justforyou, enter your Movies On Demand Credit Code.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Your account will be credited, up to a maximum of $5.99, within 60 days for the Credit Code used.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the additional Simple Steps
\nthey forgot to include.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

4.\u00a0<\/strong> We’ll be keeping your extra $5.99 for up to 60 days. Thank you! In these difficult times, every little bit helps with our short-term cash flow management.<\/span><\/p>\n

5.<\/strong>\u00a0 Check your Time Warner statements for the next 60 days to see if we have returned to you the money we charged you for your free movie.<\/span><\/p>\n

6.<\/strong>\u00a0 Not before the 61st nor after the 63rd day, call our Customer Service department to ask why we haven’t refunded your $5.99.<\/span><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0<\/strong> Due to the utterly predictable Unexpectedly Higher Than Normal Call Volume, be prepared to wait on hold for 2 to 3 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0<\/strong> If you are calling Time Warner’s Customer Service department on a Time Warner home phone line, expect to be abruptly disconnected prior to reaching one of our service representatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

9.\u00a0<\/strong> When you finally do reach a Time Warner service representative, explain that you have not received your $5.99 refund for your “free” Movie On Demand.<\/span><\/p>\n

10.\u00a0<\/strong> Listen to the Time Warner service representative patiently explain to you that Movies On Demand is not a free service.<\/span><\/p>\n

11.\u00a0<\/strong> Explain that you understand Movies On Demand is not a free service but that you were offered a free movie by Time Warner.<\/span><\/p>\n

12.\u00a0<\/strong> Listen to the Time Warner service representative patiently explain to you that Movies On Demand is not a free service.<\/span><\/p>\n

13.\u00a0<\/strong> Completely lose control and scream obscenities at the Time Warner service representative who did nothing to cause your problem and who has no ability to fix it.<\/span><\/p>\n

14.\u00a0<\/strong> Listen to the Time Warner service representative respond, “I understand your frustration”<\/em> and then patiently explain to you that Movies On Demand is not a free service.<\/span><\/p>\n

15.\u00a0<\/strong> Scream, “That’s it! I’m canceling my subscription! Time Warner is the worst company I’ve ever dealt with!”<\/em> \u2014 knowing that you won’t really cancel, ’cause it’d be such a hassle to learn how to use some OTHER cable provider’s 13 different remote controls.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.\u00a0<\/strong> Hear the Time Warner service representative pleasantly ask, “Is there anything else I can help you with today?”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
