FOX Did Not Pull Its Programming From TWC, Food Network Pulled From Cablevision
After much lambasting and ballyhooing, FOX agreed to keep arguing with TWC over what it charges for the cable company to carry its programming — without pulling the shows as it had threatened to do. Cablevision customers, however, are going to go without Food Network and HGTV.
“We wish Scripps well and have no expectation of carrying their programming again, given the dramatic changes in their approach to working with distributors to reach television viewers,” said Cablevision in a statement
Scripps, the company that owns the channels, says Cablevision isn’t paying enough for them.
