Fox News Sues Charter Over Carriage Fees
Fox News has sued Charter Communications, claiming that the company is trying to apply the same programming rate Fox charged recently acquired Time Warner Cable -- to all of Charter's customers. According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, the lawsuit claims that Charter isn’t adhering to a 2014 agreement signed with Fox News to distribute Fox News and Fox Business -- and instead is applying rates from an old agreement the network had with Time Warner Cable, which has lower rates. The agreements with Time Warner Cable and Charter don't expire until 2018, the report states. Spanish-language broadcaster Univision filed a similar lawsuit against Charter earlier this month.

Keep It Up!

Keep it up, because the more you fling lawsuits and dirt at each other, the more press you generate for yourself that shows pay TV subscribers how much these channels to their bills.

Dig boys, dig! Speed the demise of this antiquated business model.

Completely unrelated news

Customers are cutting the cable cord, (or dish if you will).

Charter Communications is going to lose this court case.

Charter Communications is going to lose this court case. They bought out Time Warner Cable, Time Warner Cable did not buy them out. So they will have to negotiate new contracts with the rates they were paying not what Time Warner Cable was paying since Time Warner cable and Bright House Networks no longer exist they are considered Charter Communications, we are just waiting for the name change to Spectrum.
