The organization&#8217;s executive VP of communications, Dennis Wharton, said earlier this week: &quot;Broadcasters sympathize with viewers used as pawns by Time Warner  Cable, DISH Network and DirecTV in program carriage disputes. The fact  is there are more than 5,800 pay TV providers across America. Yet since  2000, just 0.3 percent of pay-TV companies have EVER been involved in a  program dispute resulting in a disruption of local television service. It&#8217;s no coincidence that Time Warner Cable, DISH and DirecTV are  responsible for three out of every four retransmission consent  disruptions in 2012. Rather than negotiate in the free market for the  most popular programming on TV, this cozy pay TV cabal is manufacturing a  phony crisis in hopes that Congress will fix a &#8216;problem&#8217; that these  companies are creating.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK: After a ten-day dispute, Hearst Television has reached a new retransmission consent agreement with Time Warner Cable for local stations in 14 markets. &quot;We appreciate the support and patience of our viewers, advertisers and local communities served by our stations, and we regret the inconvenience they&#8217;ve experienced over the past 10 days,&quot; said &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>TWC, Hearst Reach Retrans Deal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"TWC, Hearst Reach Retrans Deal.
