Disputes With Time Warner Cable
In early 2006, some viewers complained about WXLV's high definition signal not being carried on Time Warner Cable. However, the station noted that Sinclair's company wide policy is to not allow cable providers to carry HD signals without compensation. With NASCAR on ESPN broadcasts as part of the Chase for the Nextel Cup on WXLV, there was a dilemma for the Triad area because it is regarded as the highest-rated NASCAR television market. However, after Sinclair and Time Warner came to a nationwide compensation/retransmission deal in 2007, WXLV-DT and WMYV-DT began to be carried on Time Warner systems.
Sinclair was later involved in a retransmission dispute with Time Warner Cable, whose original agreement ended on December 31, 2010. An agreement was reached on February 2, 2011, with no disruption to carriage of WXLV and WMYV.

Famous quotes containing the words time, warner and/or cable:
“And since the average lifetime—the relative longevity—is far greater for memories of poetic sensations than for those of heartbreaks, since the very long time that the grief I felt then because of Gilbert, it has been outlived by the pleasure I feel, whenever I wish to read, as in a sort of sundial, the minutes between twelve fifteen and one o’clock, in the month of May, upon remembering myself chatting ... with Madame Swann under the reflection of a cradle of wisteria.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“The vocabulary of pleasure depends on the imagery of pain.”
—Marina Warner (b. 1946)
“To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.”
—Douglass Cross (b. 1920)
