LOS ANGELES – Time Warner Cable Inc. says it has reached a deal with Viacom Inc. on carriage fees, avoiding a blackout of 19 cable channels including MTV and Comedy Central.
The two sides, citing disagreement over fee hikes, had threatened a damaging blackout at midnight that would have cut off shows such as "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "The Colbert Report" to about 15.7 million subscribers.
Shortly after agreeing to extend a midnight deadline by an hour, Time Warner Cable spokesman Alex Dudley said the sides agreed on a new contract.
Details of the deal were not immediately available.

My uncle works for Time Warner...Viacom originally wanted 3x the amount of money they were earning on their previous contract, which is pretty ridiculous considering the shape of the economy right now.
This was obviously never going to happen. Anyone who knows anything about business should realize it wasn't a matter of IF they agreed to a new contract, just WHEN. Both sides honestly couldn't afford not to reach an agreement.

That's good to hear, I guess. It doesn't affect me in any way, though, as I have Comcast.
