ABC Blacked Out on Time Warner Cable

HeadlineMay 02, 2000

In an escalating corporate dispute, ABC was blacked out in the homes of three-and-a-half million Time Warner Cable customers around the country yesterday, just as the sweeps period was beginning, and Regis Philbin was about to quiz celebrities on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Instead of ABC programming, Time Warner customers saw a message saying Disney has taken ABC away from you on the channel that normally carries ABC.
