The officials from Viacom<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> recently announced that customers who have subscribed to the TV service of Charter<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> might lose access to Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, and MTV.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Viacom<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> also added that they have already made a series of offers to <span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/charter-cable\/\">Charter Communications<\/a><sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong><\/span> to reach a settlement, but they were still not able to meet Charter\u2019s conditions. The current deal between Viacom<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and Charter<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> expires on October 15, 2017, and if this new dispute results in the blackout of channels, then it will affect approximately 16.5 million customers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a recent statement, officials from Viacom<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> said, \u201cWe have made a series of very attractive offers to Charter<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> that are consistent with terms we\u2019ve recently reached with other large cable operators. Importantly, these offers would enable Charter<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> to lower Spectrum subscribers\u2019 bills, while also giving them more access to shows across Nickelodeon, BET, MTV, Comedy Central and other Viacom<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> networks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The statement added, \u201cViacom<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is committed to developing strong, mutually beneficial relationships with our distribution partners. Despite our efforts, Charter<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> continues to insist on unreasonable and extreme terms that are totally inconsistent with the market. While we\u2019re making every effort to reach a new deal, Charter\u2019s actions may force a disruption in their service.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1965\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1965\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1965\" class=\"wp-image-1965 size-medium\" title=\"Charter Communications\u00ae\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Xfinity-Internet-3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Internet Providers\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Xfinity-Internet-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Xfinity-Internet-3.jpg 645w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1965\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Leading Cable TV Provider<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the other hand, a spokesperson from Charter Communications<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> stated that the telecom company has decided not to comment on this issue yet. However, reports from several sources indicate that Charter<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> will be making a statement in a few days to address the issue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There has been a quarrel or dispute between both the companies for a very long time and it sparked when the officials from Charter<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> moved the flagship networks of Viacom<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> to their most expensive programming tier.
