City Of LA Suing Time Warner Cable For Millions In Franchise Fees

Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer said that he’s going after Time Warner Cable in a nearly $10 million lawsuit alleging that Time Warner has refused to pay fees owed the city since 2011 while at the same time raking in billions in revenue.

“Time Warner pocketed the money from its subscribers and didn’t turn it over to the City of LA,” Feuer said. The city is demanding Time Warner Cable pay up on $9,697,896 owed -- $2,512,490 in 2008 and 2009 Time Warner Super Bowl 2014franchise and Public, Educational, Government use (PEG) fees, plus $7,185,406 in 2010 and 2011 franchise and PEG fees.
