SAMPLE MEDIA INTERVIEWS
Los Angeles Times: 1/22/22: Breezeline, the Quincy, Mass.-based cable company formerly known as Atlantic Broadband, took a similar stance in its comment on its decision to part with Newsmax. “While we worked in good faith to negotiate a fair agreement, Newsmax insisted on terms and conditions that we could not accept,” said Andrew Walton, a spokesperson for Breezeline. “The decision was not related in any way to the content on the network.” Walton added that Newsmax’s demands for a higher fee “would have resulted in increased TV fees for all Breezeline customers — for a channel that is free online to other viewers.” Article
Tribune Democrat: 3/14/24: The cable provider’s officials said the cost increase and its decision to eliminate WTAE-TV stem from two different sets of circumstances, which are out of its control. Breezeline has informed customers of an increase in the monthly cost for services starting this month. Increases of about $10 for local broadcast packages and cable network packages are primarily due to the escalating fees charged by cable networks, broadcast stations and the “extraordinary” costs of live TV sports rights, Breezeline spokesman Andrew Walton said. “We understand customers’ frustration with TV costs,” Walton said. “While we will continue to negotiate on behalf of our customers, we do not own the TV programming or control the costs. TV network owners remain steadfast in their demands for higher fees. The increases are affecting TV customers nationwide, not just Breezeline customers.” In recent years, he said, broadcast TV stations have charged fees to cable providers across the United States to retransmit their signals at rates increasing by 24% annually. The cost of sports programming on TV has reached unprecedented heights, Walton said, more than doubling in the last 10 years. “As broadcast and cable networks pay billions of dollars to secure the rights to air live games, this leads to much higher costs for customers,” he said.
