As the Senate Commerce is ready to begin hearings on the Cable Act of 1992, there is another retransmission consent dispute with Time Warner Cable (TWC).
This dispute is with stations owned by Meredith Broadcasting in Kansas Cit, Springfield MA, and Nashville TN.
The stations have advised viewers that TWC will remove stations due to an impasse over retransmission consent. TWC claims Meredith is asking fir a 200 percent increase in rights fees.
Stations will be removed from affected systems on July 25 according to KCTV in Kansas City.

Bill Moyers, the far left poster boy for PBS, has been quiet and less controversial in his comments on his reincarnated series on many public television stations. PBS itself passed on the latest series which is being distributed by American Public Television (APT).
He has been quiet until the massacre at a theater in Aurora CO which found 12 dead and 50 wounded. Moyers said the the National Rifle Association (NRA) was an "enabler of death -- paranoid, delusional, and as venomous as a scorpion."
In a further discussion about gun rights and the Second Amendment, Moyers went on to say, "That's a license for murder and mayhem and it's a great fraud that has entered our history."
Programs like Moyers and Frontline demonstrate the far-leftagenda of public television stations and are a good reason to end federal funding of PBS and NPR.
