As is usually the case between networks and cable providers, the dispute is over fees. And as can be expected, each company is blaming the other company.

Said a spokeswoman for Disney, which owns ABC: “Cablevision has once again betrayed its subscribers. Cablevision pocketed almost $8 billion last year, and now customers aren’t getting what they pay for … again.”

Said an executive VP for Cablevision: “It is now painfully clear to millions of New York area households that Disney CEO Bob Iger will hold his own ABC viewers hostage in order to extract $40 million in new fees from Cablevision.”

If you are one of the unlucky people affected by this battle between billion dollar companies, the best thing to do is to hook up an antenna and watch ABC for free. Another option is to try to find a live stream of ABC online.

Willis spoke to MTV News recently an revealed that there is a possibility of a fifth installment being filmed. He also says that if he goes through with it, he would get Len Wiseman to direct it.

Wiseman directed the fourth Die Hard film, Live Free or Die Hard, which Bruce Willis starred in alongside Justin Long.

The last film brought in some great box office sales worth $383.5 million, indicating that people still love Jon McClane.

I wouldn’t mind seeing more of Bruce Willis. His latest film to hit theatres is Cop Out, where he stars alongside Tracy Morgan. The film will be released on February 26th. 

Do you think they should make another Die Hard film? The last one was so good, I would have a hard time staying away!
