Time Warner strikes deal with Food Network

Time Warner Cable signWhew! Time Warner Cable announced that it has signed a ‘multi-year’ deal to keep Food Network TV on its roster for paying customers.

It was reportedly a tough negotiation as the contract between the two companies had expired Dec. 31, 2009. No details of the new agreement were disclosed.

The deal also includes a new multi-year contract with Great American Country, a channel also owned by Scripps Networks Interactive.

At least Time Warner  subscribers didn’t have to go through the loss of any food shows as customers of Cablevision did when Scripps failed to reach an agreement with that East Coast cable provider before their contract expired. Cablevision customers spent 21 days without the Food channel.

    I love the Food Network. Too bad you can’t just pay for the channels you want. 90% of what’s available to me on my Sat. box I’ll never watch. That’s a waste of $60-70 on channels I don’t use. I would keep FoodTv and FLN but I’m not going to be watching much GAC so why should I pay for that? Providers should cut deals to those who only use a few channels.
