I think I am. But I can not be the only one.

4. Does it matter?
No Comcast here and no MSNBC anymore either. As to who is the blame, don't care, they took KO away and I refuse to watch and give them the numbers. Luckily I am a Nelson household and v-chip works well.

6. We don't have Comcast so I can't cancel it, but I will not
stop watching Rachel, Lawrence & ed. I've read that Keith has been sending signals that he was looking for a new gig for some time and he apparently had a rocky road with MSNBC's mgmt for some time. Keith will be back somewhere and I have no doubt about that. I just hope our gang of hree still stays with MSNBC. We liberals need their voices.

23. Good point It doesn't matter, but if the direct 'blame' goes to someone (MSNBC?)
I'd hate to see us misplace our rage. :7

5. We have Time Warner, but I would be willing to cancel
if I can get everyone else here to agree. We've done it before. I couldn't stand to watch Bush eg, and just cancelled cable as I couldn't get to any channel without risking seeing his lying face even for a second. The only thing I missed was C-Span. Movies I can see on the computer and most of the news I want I can get online also.

We have cable now, I thought it was safe to go back after Bush left, but I watch it less and less.

Regardless of whether we cancel the whole thing, I won't be watching MSNBC AT ALL. That will not be hard without Keith's show.

7. First of all, KO won't be back...
This wasn't like when he got suspended. This time, a buyout of his contract was negotiated -- in other words, it's over, with each side probably glad to be rid of the other.

As to canceling Comcast...I'm going to talk to DISHNetwork on Monday. That's the only real option for me -- DirecTV would just mean jumping from Comcast to NewsCorp.

8. Cancelled Comcast some time ago... and not willing to re-sign just to leave again.
Without Olbermann, I won't watch Olbermann online... that's all that's left to not-do...

10. Haven't had Comcast for over 16 years-they are too expensive and they suck
to deal with.

We use Dish satellite network.

11. I canceled ComCast 2 years ago and they still billed me
until I closed my banking account, I called, wrote letters ...hell
I didn't even live there and they still billed me.

If you can get rid of those guys on your trade of goods
and find a replacement if you can... I know its hard to find a competitor
when they have a monopoly in your area

12. No.

This may be a good thing in the long run. Keith won't be away from broadcasting for long and the next evolution may be better than the last.

21. I don't have Comcast cable. But I'm willing to cancel Time Warner.

The basic cable package is NOTHING BUT GARBAGE!

It's a waste of money.
