Biz: Time Warner and News Corp. come to a deal, freaking finally

  • We’re happy to have reached
    a reasonable deal with no disruption in programming for our customers.
  • Time Warner Cable CEO Glenn Britt • Regarding the deal made between his company and News Corp. over content. News Corp. wanted a dollar per subscriber for its content each month; Time Warner wanted to pay them closer to twenty cents. They found a happy medium or something. Customers still lose because it means higher cable prices either way. source

Biz: Fox and Time Warner Cable: Looking out for their best interests

  • If Fox believes that withdrawing programming from 4 million households is its best negotiating tactic, then I would ask the FCC to intervene and mandate continued carriage and arbitration.
  • Sen. John Kerry • Threatening to get in the middle of the spat between Time Warner Cable and News Corp. over licensing fees. Rupert Murdoch’s crew wants a bigger share of the pie, and have forced the cable company to the edge. If they don’t come to an agreement tonight, Time Warner Cable channels will go black. If they do, that means a number of prominent college football bowls won’t be seen, all because of greed. We hope Kerry successfully gets the FCC involved, because these petulant children need it. source
