Time Warner Cable, Sinclair Reach Retrans Pact

Time Warner Cable and Sinclair Broadcast reached an agreement in principle Saturday (Jan. 15) hours before the midnight deadline. The retransmission pact, which covers carriage of 28 stations in 21 markets, is expected to be finalized in the next seven days, TWC said in a statement.

Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

“We’re pleased to reach an agreement with Sinclair Broadcasting without any interruption in service for our customers,” said Rob Marcus, president and COO of Time Warner Cable.

The original carriage deal between the two parties was set to expire on New Year’s Eve, but the parties agreed to a two-week extension.
