Cable companies, not surprisingly, have resisted, asking why they should pay for content that's broadcast over the airwaves to non-cable subscribers for free. They say they already give companies like Disney, which owns ABC, plenty of money - Disney gets about $200 million a year from Cablevision alone, for the right to carry cable networks like ESPN and the Disney Channel. (ESPN is reputed to get $4 per month per subscriber, the highest of any cable channel.) And any increases in costs, they note, will likely be passed on to consumers...

Alice got so-so reviews from critics, but it achieved a healthy A- rating from Cinemascore's poll of people who'd just seen the movie; and it should hang on through spring...

...enough little-people statuettes in the intervening three hours to keep the masses satisfied. The big threat to big ratings, as of mid-afternoon Sunday, is that the show may not be seen by millions of viewers in Brooklyn, the Bronx and Westchester county and on Long Island. Disney, in a dispute with the cable supplier Cablevision, last night shut down Cablevision's access to WABC, the country's most-watched local TV station, on which the Oscars are to be shown. Although the show can be seen online, and on Hulu, if a deal isn't reached...
