I would like to have seen Time Warner Cable cut off CBS on the Friday before week 1 of the NFL season. They did this during the Summer when they could get away with it. For those who say big deal it's very hard to get an over the air digital signal if you live in Manhattan in a high rise apartment. As far as getting DTV good luck with that. I guess you could switch to a competing cable company but I don't know how that works in New York. Is every area of Manhattan served by more than one company. I'm sure this will get resolved. TWC has a habit off getting in disputes with all the networks. They might have dropped AMC for a short time.
(Reuters) - U.S. broadcaster CBS went dark for millions of Time Warner Cable subscribers on Friday in the nation's two largest markets and other cities after the cable operator and CBS Corp failed to reach an agreement over fees following weeks of contentious negotiations.
The blackout by Time Warner Cable of the No. 1-rated U.S. broadcast network followed an increasingly hostile and public battle between the two sides, which accused each other of making unreasonable demands in their talks over how much the cable operator will pay to carry CBS.
CBS hit back by suspending videos of full episodes on CBS.com for customers with Internet access provided by Time Warner Cable in the affected markets.
The network, home to hits such as "The Big Bang Theory" and "NCIS," is seen by an estimated 3.5 million customers in the affected markets, including the two biggest, New York and Los Angeles, and Dallas.
