The cable giant offers CBS an either/or route to resolve their fee
dispute and resume carriage of its network, with digital rights, online
content, and TV Everywhere among the levers TWC is pulling.
Time Warner Cable proposed an immediate end to a three-day blackout of
broadcast network CBS for consumers in some cities and channels like
Showtime for subscribers everywhere by offering two options, neither of
which CBS welcomed.
One would crimp the fee increases CBS is fighting for but would limit
TWC's digital rights, and another would let CBS set prices for its
channels and allow consumers to pick and choose what to pay for, known
as a la carte. Time Warner also blasted the media giant for blocking
online content.
CBS called the proposal a sham and a distraction
