Time Warner Cable Drops CBS in Three Cities as Talks Fail

August 01, 2013

When a channel is dropped from a pay-TV service, 7 percent of subscribers end up switching providers, while 16 percent watch the lost channel online, according to a survey from Parks Associates, a market research firm based in Dallas. The survey, conducted in the third quarter of last year, looked at 2,500 households and asked residents what they did the last time they lost a channel in a fee dispute.

The dispute between the companies focused on retransmission fees, which have become a frequent sticking point in negotiations between pay-TV providers and broadcasters.

From the article, "Time Warner Cable Drops CBS in Three Cities as Talks Fail" by Alex Sherman and Edmund Lee.
