As reported on bend.com and confirmed on our local cable provider BendCable’s website, BendCable has dropped UPN entirely. Apparently BendCable didn’t want the competition from a new UPN-affiliate that’s scheduled to launch here in January 2004. So, they got pissy and as of now, UPN channel 12 is off the air.
The only show I watch on UPN is Enterprise, so it’s not like I’m missing out on a lot of TV, but what bothers me is that this is the kind of stupid shit BendCable does. This is a provider that doesn’t even offer basic channels like FX or Comedy Central, and up until a few years ago didn’t even offer MTV.

I’m boycotting them until they put TechTV on basic
Hell yeah! Except, er, um, BendCable is also my internet provider… damn it all…
Kind of de-fangs my rant, huh?
Yes, they’re my net provider, too, but not my TV provider. I got my ol’ rabbit ears for that.
Well, you should be able to also pull basic cable off that line, too. Get a splitter, if you’ve only got 1 outlet, and see what happens.
