Brighthouse Cable (Michigan) immediately drops Current TV

Without any notice what so ever, Brighthouse Cable drops Current TV. This morning, the Bill Press Show was on (6am to 9am) but immediately after that, it was gone. When I called the company, I was told it was removed because of the sale. On Twitter, after complaining, I received this tweet from them:

Bright House Care ‏@BrightHouseCare

Current TV was purchased. As a result, our agreement has been terminated and we will no longer be carrying the channel. -Nick

This is very sudden and feels very disturbing.

Bright House Networks serve customers across the U.S., in these markets: Tampa Bay and Orlando, Florida; Bakersfield, California; Indianapolis, Indiana; Detroit, Michigan; and Birmingham, Alabama; along with several other smaller regions in Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
