Source: The Post-Crescent, Appleton, Wis.儲存Sept. 07--Revived negotiations this week could signal that a resolution of the six-week dispute between Time Warner Cable and Journal Broadcast Group is near.Or not.By Friday night, retransmission fee issues had not been resolved and the switch had not yet been flipped to return the WGBA-TV Channel 26 signal to cable subscribers.But the end could be near.The good news: The dispute doesn't affect Sunday's Green Bay Packers opener against the San Francisco 49ers, which is broadcast at 3:25 p.m. on Fox.The bad news: NBC's "Sunday Night Football," pitting the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys, is blacked out for Time Warner Cable subscribers unless an agreement is reached.Both sides said negotiations took on a new tone this week."The negotiations are much more active than they have been," said Joe Poss, general manager of WGBA, the NBC station in Green Bay. "Our goal is to get this resolved as soon as possible. This is a football town an新蒲崗迷你倉 we want it done. There's a potential that this will be done, but there's no guarantee I can give you."Time Warner Cable's Midwest spokesman Mike Hogan also commented on changes in negotiations this week."We are in active discussions with Journal, and we're working hard to reach a fair agreement to restore its stations to our lineups," he said in a midday email Friday to Post-Crescent Media."In fact, we met for the very first time this week with actual Journal employees, instead of only their third-party consultants."Subscribers by this point are familiar with their alternatives to watch NBC, including installing a high-definition digital antenna or seeking out the station on satellite or other cable systems.-- Maureen Wallenfang: 920-993-1000, ext. 287, or mwallenfang@postcrescent.com; on Twitter @wallenfangCopyright: ___ (c)2013 The Post-Crescent (Appleton, Wis.)
