UPDATE: Time Warner Cable and Viacom Reach A Deal!

People it seems as though the "beef" (Blank Stare), between Time Warner Cable and Viacom has been resolved. Basically Viacom put Time Warner Cable's Azz on blast in a very public way! Parents were calling Time Warner left and right about their children's beloved programming becoming "ghost". Soccer Moms united for a good cause! LMAO! Again....This was a completely ridiculous situation... Very unnecessary!

Read more about it below:


Millions of Time Warner Cable customers won't lose their access to MTV and 18 other channels after the cable giant reached an agreement early Thursday with media conglomerate Viacom Inc.

The two sides, citing disagreement over fee hikes, had threatened a damaging blackout at a minute past midnight Thursday that would have cut off shows such as "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "The Colbert Report" to about 15.7 million subscribers.

"We are pleased that our customers will continue to be able to watch the customers will continue to be able to watch the programming they enjoy on MTV Networks," said Glenn Britt, president and CEO of Time Warner Cable Inc. "We are sorry they had to endure a day of public disagreement as we worked through this negotiation."

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Details must still be finalized over the next few days, the companies said.
