LA Providers Scrimmage Over Sports

The battle for sports superiority in the Los Angeles area continues as Time Warner Cable piled on additional feeds of the Pac-12 Network to customers in the area.

Time Warner Cable added five additional Pac-12 feeds several days prior to the first scheduled college-football contest on the network.

The five additional channels are part of the original deal the cable operator made for the main feed of the Pac-12 channel in conference states: California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Colorado and Arizona. Pac-12 charges carriage fees of about 80 cents per subscriber per month in conference states, according to several published reports. The remaining feeds are available for “pennies,” sources familiar with the matter said.
