Belo, Time Warner Fire Retrans Volley

Time Warner Cable and Belo Corp are negotiating a new agreement over how much Time Warner will pay Belo to carry several of its television stations in markets around the country, including ABC affiliate WFAA-TV (Channel 8) in Dallas. If the two sides can't come to an agreement by Saturday, those stations could go dark for viewers. For weary cable subscribers, it's just the latest public spat between a broadcaster and a cable provider.

Time Warner reached a last-minute deal with the Walt Disney Co. several weeks ago. The new negotiations between Time Warner and Belo cover 12 of the 20 stations owned by Belo around the country, according to Time Warner's Web site. Time Warner has about 2 million TV and Internet subscribers in Texas.
