Chief-O 28 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Unless someone in the Kimberly office pulled a big boo-boo and is feeding WLUK to us Northeast Wisconsin customers, I think there might have been some agreement of some sort in the Time Warner/LIN TV dispute. I haven't seen anything official anywhere [hence, the parentheses in the thread title], not even on LIN's own site. Are there any other folks here that are seeing their local LIN station back on TW? EDIT: CONFIRMED! Although their site may say nothing, WLUK just mentioned that an agreement has been reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Lampstein 6 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 FoxCitiesTV.com reports that the deal was struck around 2am. Terms of the agreement may not be made public, unfortunate for those of us who wanted to know - but not really important to viewers who were effected by the stations being pulled.

Chief-O 28 Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 I should mention one thing that came out of the deal---WLUK's signal is now available on TW's HD service. [there was a separate dispute over this a few months back] BTW, Dave---if you could, could you please edit the thread title, now that it's confirmed?

WickedYoungMan 0 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Lin TV have also reached an agreement with Bright House customers in Indianapolis. http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=200881029033 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasFury 0 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I never understood why TV stations would want to charge a company that basically ensures that their signal still gets seen when the tower goes out, at no cost. If anything, stations should be the ones paying for cable carriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
