Charter Communications may cease offering WFAA-TV
By DAVID SCHECHTER / WFAA ABC 8
DALLAS, Texas - Starting New Year's Day, about 135,000 Charter Communications cable viewers, who reside primarily in Fort Worth and the Park Cities, may no longer be able to watch Channel 8.
Channel 8 and Charter Communications were unable to reach an agreement that would allow Charter to continue offering WFAA's local news and ABC programming.
It's a product too good to give away, said Mike Devlin, WFAA-TV general manager.
"These are highly sought after, very popular programs that have great value," Devlin said.
For the last two years, WFAA has negotiated for Charter Communications to pay for the right to provide the station's content. Currently, WFAA-TV receives no compensation from Charter and has asked for about one penny per day for each subscriber.

I already told my buddy in Chicago as soon as he and his family move into a new house in Fort Worth (served by Charter) not to subscribe to Charter since they're in a dispute with a local station. He told me that they're gonna get Verizon FiOS or AT&T U-Verse anyways.
