Cable Rants

The fall-out between Sky Cable and Solar Entertainment over the Manny Pacquiao boxing matches broadcasting rights resulted in the non-renewal of Solar Channels like Jack TV and Solar Sports (which carries NBA games) on the cable line-up. So no more My Name is Earl,WWE or MAD TV episodes.

And in lieu of WWE, Sky gives us--get this-- Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant! The horror! Marc, we were still licking tootsie-rolls when these over-sized wrestlers strutted their stuff.

Instead of NBA, we get NCAA (the US one, not the local one). And as for boxing, forget it! Sky features old Fight Night clips from the 80's. Sky might as well feature Gillette World of Sports videos from Ronald Reagan's time.
