TWC-CBS Dispute Cutting Into Fans’ NFL Viewing

Another night of NFL preseason games around the country but if you’ve got Time Warner Cable and your game is being broadcast on CBS, you may be out of luck.

In New York, the Jets-Lions game will not be seen live by TWC customers. You can view/DVR the game via replay on SNY at 1:30am….

from 506sports.com:

NFL Network airs two preseason games tonight. In the first game, Michael Vick and the Eagles host…Tom Brady? Ryan Mallett? Tim Tebow!?…and the Patriots.

Once that is done, the Cowboys-Raiders game will be joined in progress. The Eagles and Raiders local broadcasts will be used respectively. The NFLN broadcasts will be blacked out in regions where the games are airing on a local station.

Time Warner Cable subscribers in much of the country will lose out on tonight’s games. Their well-publicized spat with CBS affects stations in New York, Los Angeles and Dallas; all of which are airing preseason games this weekend.

In addition, a separate dispute with Journal Broadcast Group in Wisconsin will mean Green Bay and Milwaukee area viewers will miss tonight’s Packers game.
