Why cbs not on time warner

A: No. We cannot discuss specifics, but we do want you to know that our requests are far more reasonable and well in line with what the industry is paying for content. While we are by far the most watched network in the country, there are many more networks that are much less viewed than CBS that Time Warner Cable pays considerably more money for. A: Time Warner Cable already charges you many, many times over what they pay for broadcast programming. We receive far less, in fact a small percentage of that.

After all, you are already paying for CBS. If Time Warner Cable refuses your request, you do have other alternatives. A: Soon, we hope. But only Time Warner Cable can answer that question. We did not require them to take it down. We have never had one of our stations go dark with a cable company over a business negotiation before, so this is new territory for us. Time Warner Cable has had over 50 of these types of disputes in the last five years and sadly seems to do this quite often to their customers.

A: While Time Warner is not offering the regular linear channel, then they won't have the on Demand content either. The service interruption is not only completely unnecessary, but totally punitive to our subscribers, and will impact and inconvenience millions of Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks subscribers in major markets across the country.

The network noted that it has managed to negotiate deals with several other distributors including satellite broadcasters Dish Network and DirecTV and New York cable operator Cablevision Systems. The channels may be off for a while, given the wide gulf between the two companies. They have the most clout.

The only question is how long the signal will be off. Although broadcast signals such as KCBS-TV are available free of charge to anyone with an antenna, Congress gave broadcasters the right to negotiate carriage fees from cable and other distributors as part of the Cable Act. Cable operators such including Time Warner Cable have always charged subscribers a fee to receive local over-the-air signals.

For many years, broadcasters chose to use the leverage of being able to demand a fee to create new channels instead. However, there is little room now for new channels, and broadcasters feel a dual revenue stream of subscription fees and advertising revenue is crucial for them to continue to afford expensive sports programming and compete with cable.

Regulators and lawmakers typically have been reluctant to interfere in these fights between programmers and distributors. Times Store. Facebook Twitter Show more sharing options Share Close extra sharing options.
