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.
