Title: Scripps/Time Warner have new carriage agreement
Post by: mrschimpf on Tuesday Feb 02, 2016, 09:43:00 PM
This is the exact reverse of 2013; with about seven months to go on the terrible agreement Steve Wexler 'negotiated' with Time Warner in that summer which pretty much put Journal on the road to ruin and Scripps merger (and WTMJ on channel 2, 83 in Plymouth), Scripps and Time Warner had a much quieter renegotiation and came to terms on a new long-term agreement.

So no drama this August from channel 4 being pulled...that's a small relief.
