Blackout of CBS Enters Third Day After Negotiations Stall

Time Warner Cable Inc.’s blackout of CBS Corp. networks entered its third day, cutting off audiences in the largest TV markets from seeing tonight’s “Under the Dome,” the highest-rated scripted series of the summer.

Time Warner Cable stopped broadcasting CBS to more than 3 million viewers in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and other markets on Aug. 2. The two sides have sparred over the fees that CBS charges to retransmit shows over Time Warner Cable’s system, as well as other issues, such as how content can be streamed over the Internet. As of last night, negotiations between the two sides remained stalled, CBS said in a statement.
