Statement From Rebecca Campbell, President and General Manager, WABC-TV

"It's an insult to Cablevision customers that, with literally hours to go before losing access to ABC7, Cablevision is personally attacking Disney executives. Does Cablevision have such little regard for its subscribers' intelligence to think that they don't know a negotiation takes two parties? The inconvenient truth is that ABC7 has been prepared to reach a fair agreement for two years and Cablevision has refused to do its part. If Cablevision CEO James Dolan and the Dolan Family Dynasty have any regard at all for the millions of customers who pay hard earned dollars for their service, they will order their troops to stop slinging mud and start cutting a deal."

ABC7 urges concerned Cablevision customers to tell Cablevision "Lose my Shows, Lose my Business" by calling 1-877-990-ABC7 or visiting http://www.saveABC7.com.
