Time Warner Cable and a tv station owner have made a deal ending a monthlong standoff that blacked out local channels in Ohio and across the country.
The nation's second-largest cable operator has agreed to pay undisclosed retransmission fees to LIN TV, which operates local stations affiliated with NBC, CBS, FOX and CW.
The 14 stations covered by the nationwide agreement include three in Ohio: WDTN, the NBC station in Dayton; Toledo FOX station WUPW; and WWHO, the CW network affiliate in Columbus.
Retransmission fees have long been a sore spot for cable companies.
TV station operators recently have been asking for fees per subscriber instead of, for example, agreements to buy advertising.
