YES sues Time Warner Cable
By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 9/2/2003 5:00:00 AM
The New York Yankees’ Yankees Entertainment & Sports Network took Time Warner Cable to court Friday for starting to sell the service on an a la carte basis. YES sued the company in New York State Supreme Court, charging that the move violated Time Warner Cable’s license agreement calling for putting YES on a tier packaged with other networks.
Time Warner Cable took YES off its basic tier one month ago, instead offering it to subscribers for $1 per month.
Time Warner Cable asserted that it is allowed to do that because YES cut a similar deal to settle its battle with Cablevision Systems Corp., triggering a "most-favored-nation" clause in YES’ Time Warner Cable agreement.
But the suit said Time Warner Cable isn’t carrying the sports network on the same exact terms as Cablevision.
