Fox, Time Warner reach deal

AUSTIN (KXAN/AP) - Fox network, Time Warner Cable say deal reached to continue carrying television broadcasts.

Further details on the deal were not immediately available.

This announcement comes after the television network and cable provider reached a temporary agreement near 11p.m. on New Years Eve.

The Fox television network allowed its broadcast signal to be carried by Time Warner Cable for a brief extension past a midnight deadline as talks over fees continued.

Fox had threatened to pull the signal from 14 TV stations it owns, a move that would have affected more than 6 million customers of Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks in markets such as Austin, New York, and Los Angeles.

The dispute focused on how much Fox is paid by cable companies to retransmit those stations' signals.
