The Scripps Network and Cablevision Controversy

If you have been watching TV, or listening to the radio over the past couple of days, you should have seen a commercial or two about the recent removal of HGTV, and The Food Channel from Cablevision's network. If you got lucky, you might have even got to catch the commercials from both sides. In Scripp's commercial, they blame optimum for the problems that are occurring. But in Optimum's commercial, they blame the Scripps Network for these problems.

I am wondering, who is actually causing the problems that caused the channels to be removed? I guess we will never know unless someone really digs deep to find out - for now, all we can do is sit back and watch everyone point fingers. It's not the biggest issue, as I'm not really into any of those channels; but I would like to know why everyone is blaming everyone else. The CEO's of both companies are acting like a couple of two year olds!
