Time Warner Cable reaches multi-year extension for Food Network, GAC

Food Network HD
After nearly a month of quiet negotiations after their original contract expired, Time Warner Cable and program provider Scripps Interactive announced a multi-year extension yesterday, according to Multichannel News.

The deal keeps Food Network and Great American Country on the cable lineup for the foreseeable future, though no details of the pact were made public.  Scripps had been seeking a significant rate increase for the channels, and disagreements with Cablevision kept Food Network and HGTV off New York cable lineups for the first few weeks of the New Year.  Time Warner continued to carry Scripps' channels while talks continued.
