The saga is over for now--Time Warner is once again showing MSG Network, Fox Sports Network and MetroTV. So it's a good time to review the cable dispute scoreboard:

1) Disney vs. Time Warner: tie. Lots of finger pointing marked this dispute in which Time Warner shut off WABC. Based on unscientific polling, most people seemed to feel that both parties were to blame for denying viewers "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire."

2) Cablevision vs. YES Network: Steinbrenner rules. There was no contest here--who are you going to root for, the best sports franchise in history or the company that owns the Knicks and Rangers? By the time the Yankees were back on TV, most people had concluded this was just about bitterness for losing the privilege to broadcast their games.

3) Time Warner vs. Cablevision: Dolan's doldrums continue. Time Warner contended that the value of MSG programming had dwindled. Who can disagree? Personally, I felt better off with the $2 monthly refund than with the Mets and tired sports collectible auctions on TV.

The latest standings:

Time Warner- 1 win, 0 losses, 1 tie for 3 points
YES Network- 1 win, 0 losses, 0 ties for 2 points
Disney- 0 wins, 0 losses, 1 tie for 1 point
Cablevision- 0 wins, 2 losses, 0 ties for 0 points
