I felt a bit bad about that: I didn't want to "take sides" in the negotiation, since I think either side getting all that it wanted would be bad for the consumer. But we were upset about the lack of warning, and upset that the two sides had given up on negotiations in the first place. I can roll my eyes at the situation and grumble and move on with my life, but I'm an adult. Toddlers and preschoolers are not quite so savvy. We may make some effort to get our daughter less attached to Viacom programming as a result, too. (If for no other reason than self-preservation for when they try the same thing with Amazon!) But that's a longer-term project.
