Meredith extended Time Warner Cable's retrans rights for the
channels to July 31 while the two parties hammered out the finer points of the deal.

"We have reached an agreement in principle with
Meredith for continued carriage of their channels; there will be no
interruption in customers' viewing," Time Warner Cable said in a
statement.
The stations involved were KCTV-CBS and KSMO-MyNetwork TV in
Kansas City, WSHM-CBS in Springfield; and WSMV-NBC in Nashville.
