Time Warner Cable-CBS Fee Battle

CBS and Time Warner Cable have ended their payment dispute and expect programming to resume in millions of homes by 6 p.m. ET on Monday.

It's one thing for a business dispute to knock out CBS programming in some three million homes during rerun season. Football season is another matter entirely, and there's little immediate cause for optimism.

Time Warner Cable and CBS say they are trying to settle a fee dispute that has left three million customers without the network's programs.

The fee dispute between Time Warner Cable and CBS Corp. took an odd turn when the cable giant announced it was turning off the broadcaster in three major cities, then quickly reversed the decision.

CBS and Time Warner Cable are in a public spat over fees in three major TV markets including New York.
