FOX and Time Warner in a carriage dispute

[Casey Buck]

Only half an hour left to go on the East Coast, and no deal has been announced yet.

Incidentally, Time Warner's site has a video telling its customers how they can still watch their shows through the network websites, and how to connect a computer to a TV. In other words, a cable company is essentially showing its customers how they can get rid of cable! Whoops.

EDIT: Looks like FOX has given Time Warner a temporary 3-hour extension (until midnight PT, or 3 AM ET).

If a blackout does occur, I hope Fox doesn't do anything callous by blocking access to its websites to Time Warner or Bright House customers.

Well, if the cable company is your internet provider, it's not as much of a whoops as you may think.
