Nexstar set to battle Time-Warner

Nexstar Broadcasting officials are preparing to give Time Warner in Wichita Falls, Texas, the same treatment they gave Cable One in Joplin.
Today's Wichita Falls Times Record reports Nexstar's chief operating officer Duane Lammers as giving the same old 30 cents per customer per month ultimatum that was soundly rejected by Cable One officials in Joplin. That rejection, of course, led to the removal of KODE and KSNF from the cable company at the end of 2004.
Nexstar put a message on its KFDX NBC affiliate in Wichita Falls, again making the claim that customers in Joplin and the other areas affected by the retransmission battle have flocked away from cable and toward dish systems and antennas.
