CBS Getting Huge Ratings Even In The Middle Of The Time Warner Dispute

At a subway entrance in Manhattan today I saw a video ad shouting that there would be no preseason Jets coverage on TV this year, because mean old CBS had withheld their programming from loyal Time Warner subscribers. It remains unclear to me what Time Warner hopes to gain in taking their dispute with CBS to the consumers-- but it's becoming clear that CBS might have so many other viewers outside of Time Warner that it won't matter to them anyway
