Time Warner, Comcast Fight DirecTV Proposal
From Bloomberg News
August 9, 2005
Comcast Corp. and Time Warner Inc., which made a joint bid on smaller rival
Adelphia Communications Corp. in April, are fighting a proposal by DirecTV
Group Inc. that they be banned from signing exclusive contracts for
regional sports programs after the transaction.
The Federal Communications Commission "should reject requests that it
prohibit" the cable companies "from entering into exclusive arrangements,"
Time Warner and Comcast said in a filing with the FCC.
