Title: Time Warner comes to new carriage agreement w/Tribune before WITI purchase
Post by: mrschimpf on Sunday Dec 22, 2013, 08:33:30 PM
For once, we won't have to worry about losing a station on Time Warner; Tribune and Time Warner have a new carriage agreement (http://www.deadline.com/2013/12/time-warner-cable-agrees-to-retransmission-deal-with-tribune/). Unlike the last carriage agreement with WITI where they negotiated with their former Fox O&O sisters, this one also includes the Local TV stations like WITI, which with the FCC approval for Trib's purchase coming Friday and final closing before the new year, means Fox is safe for the usual three years locally on TWC. Probably will also include This TV when it inevitably bumps over from 58.3 to 6.3 whenever that exchange happens too.
