KPSE-TV pulled from Time Warner Cable lineup
MUMBAI: Negotiations failed between Journal Broadcast Group and Time Warner Cable, which means only one thing that the cable provider will no longer air KPSE-TV, My13.
“It is unfortunate that Journal Broadcast Group has decided to pull their programming from our customers‘ lineups,” spokesman Dennis Johnson said in a statement. “Journal is demanding more than a 200 per cent increase over previous compensation without delivering more value.”
Opposing sides had been negotiating for weeks to reach a deal that would allow Time Warner to continue airing Palm Desert-based KPSE and KMIR, Channel 6, which are owned by Journal Broadcast Group.
KPSE programming was taken off Time Warner at midnight Wednesday, but KMIR cannot be removed during a sweeps period as per Federal Communications Commission rules.
If a deal isn‘t reached by 24 July when the sweeps period ends, KMIR could also be removed, Johnson said.
Television viewers would still be able to watch KMIR via other cable providers or with antennas.
