Time Warner, CBS reach deal to end blackout

CBS said it has reached an agreement with Time Warner Cable to end a month-long blackout of its stations in New York, Los Angeles and Dallas. The two sides had been at odds since August 2, when talks broke down over CBS’s demand that the so-called “retransmission fees” be increased in order for Time Warner to continue carrying its signal. Time Warner wanted to also receive CBS programming for its digital outlets without paying additional costs. Under the agreement, programming on all networks resumed at 6 pm EDT (2200 GMT) on 2 September, the two sides said in a joint statement. The agreement covers CBS’s Showtime premium cable channel as well.
