Want your MTV? Dispute could black it out

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – If you subscribe to Spectrum, the cable television provider that replaced Time Warner Cable in Western New York, there is good news and bad news: The pay TV service is in a feud with Viacom, owner of 23 cable networks, over money that—if it is not settled soon–could cause Viacom’s TV networks to be blacked out .
The two companies missed a Sunday deadline to reach an agreement, but the good news is they agreed to extend the deadline and keep talking.
