DIRECTV Applauds Time Warner Cable For Fighting Back In Dispute with CBS
August 03 2013 - 12:13PM
Business Wire
DIRECTV released the following statement today in support of
Time Warner Cable:
“Just like the characters in CBS’ Under The
Dome, all pay TV customers are feeling trapped and
helpless as broadcasters expect them to absorb ridiculous rate
increases for the exact same programming. In trying to protect our
own customers, DIRECTV has certainly had its share of these
battles, so we applaud Time Warner Cable for fighting back against
exorbitant programming cost increases. We are also appalled to
learn that CBS is now punishing DIRECTV customers, who may happen
to have Time Warner as their Internet provider, by denying them
access to CBS content online. The conduct of content companies in
their efforts to extract outrageous fees from distributors and
consumers may have reached a new low.”
