Time Warner-MSG Dispute Knocks Sabres Games Off Cable

MSG sports channels are still missing from Time Warner Cable in Rochester and across New York State, and both MSG and the cable company say no more contract talks are planned. 

The dispute knocked MSG and MSG+ off of Time Warner on Sunday. The Buffalo Sabres are carried on Time Warner on those channels, but fans who subscribe to Time Warner won't be able watch their team on television, starting with Tuesday night's game against Edmonton.

Time Warner says it won't pay a 53 % fee increase sought by MSG. MSG says it is not seeking a 53% increase, but that it wants to be paid the same as other TV providers.
