Versus needs to die fast the RSN's do a much better job of covering the NHL. |

kudos:2 | Time Warner is about to go head to head with Rupert Murdoch over transmission fees for all News Corp. properties. This is a preemptive strike by TWC for when News Corp. pulls the plug on all FOX properties while TWC flails about trying to explain why they are no longer offered on their cable systems.
Murdoch has gone on record that he fully intends to win this battle, and I'm, sure he remembers being slapped by Time Warner in 1997 over their refusing to carry FOX News in NYC. He probably also remembers GE offering NBC to Time Warner in 1999.
He's also vying for MGM studios against Time Warner and others.
The only thing bigger then Murdoch's mouth is his ego, and this time he won't be backing down in his campaign to increase monetization of his media properties. |

| You can always watch krappy FOX on the antenna. |

kudos:2 | The righties will go through instant withdrawal without FOX News, which is not available OTA, and storm the castle demanding that TWC capitulate immediately.
Now there's a thought. None of the FOX O and Os carry any subchannels. Put FOX News OTA on WNYW in New York and KTTV in Los Angeles (and on other FOX Television Stations in Time Warner markets) and watch Time Warner squirm. Brilliant! |

| Why would they get rid of Fox News when it's the most watched news channel. |

If TW tried to do that all Disney would have to do is threaten to take away all Disney, ABC and ESPN channels. See how fast TW customers defect to Dish or DirecTv |

Fox is in control, not the 1/2" penises at Time Warner. |
