Turner Broadcasting Decides to Stop Supporting the Troops

The Armed Forces Network cable provider in Japan, Ameri-Cable, was informed this week that TBS (Turner Broadcasting System) pulled the plug on sending their cable feed to American bases in Japan. Starting last Wednesday, the popular Atlanta-based network was replaced with Court TV.

The decision leaves customers on Okinawa and Japan without such perennial rerun favorites as �Seinfeld,� �Friends,� �Dawson�s Creek,� �The Cosby Show� and �Home Improvement,� as well as an assortment of movies and sports programming.

�TBS simply said they�re not going to give us their programs anymore, and there�s not much we can do about it,� said Charles Simon, Yokota Americable general manager. �It�s not a good thing for us. We have a lot of angry people calling up here.

�TBS didn�t tell us why, and they don�t really have to tell us why.�

Anyone like to guess the motivation behind the TBS decision?
