- TV groups urge action after Oscars fee drama
- A group of 14 US pay-TV service companies on Tuesday night asked US regulators to prevent a repeat of the breakdown in fee negotiations that led Walt Disney to block millions of viewers from watching the Oscars broadcast on television.Ahead of tense negotiations with Disney this summer, Time Warner Cable is leading a coalition of pay-TV providers to prevent programmers such as Disney, owner of the ESPN cable sports network and ABC television stations, or News Corp's Fox from pulling their television signals during programme carriage negotiations.A Time Warner Cable spokeswoman said the group was "asking the [Federal Communications Commission] to address skyrocketing consumer costs by establishing a new framework for resolving retransmission consent disputes and ensuring that consumers are not caught in the middle".Disney pulled its ABC TV station from 3m New York subscribers of Cablevision's service last Sunday but restored the channel after reaching a tentative agreement under political pressure shortly after the broadcast of the 82nd Academy Awards.The group is expected to seek new arbitration rules if companies fail to reach commercial agreements on their own.The coalition cuts across systems and platforms, bringing together rivals that include DirecTV, Dish Network, Verizon, Cablevision and Charter, according to one person familiar with the matter.Public interest groups and industry organisations are also expected to jointly petition regulators.Comcast, the nation's largest cable operator, is not expected to take part as its deal to take control of NBC Universal faces regulatory review.Disney's distribution contract with Time Warner Cable expires on September 1 and is more expansive than its discussions with Cablevision.The Time Warner Cable negotiations will include renewals for its broad portfolio of ABC TV stations and cable networks including ESPN across the cable group's 13m US customers.Tensions underscore the changing economics of the US television business. Station owners such as Disney have historically given away channels in exchange for launching cable networks such as ESPN.But TV station owners, eyeing the dual revenue streams of fees and advertising of pay-TV networks, have begun demanding fees for carriage of its free-to-air TV stations to offset declines in advertising revenue and viewership as consumers migrate to pay-TV channels and online video services such as Google's YouTube. by Financial Times
