KMOV (Channel 4) says its television signal will not be available to Charter Cable subscribers starting Dec. 31.
KMOV's parent, Belo Corp. of Dallas, and Charter, based in Town and Country, have been negotiating for two years over KMOV's demand that Charter pay for KMOV's signal.
Belo ceased allowing Charter to carry KMOV's new digital HD signal in January 2007, but Charter subscribers still got KMOV's old analog signal. Now Charter will carry no version of KMOV.
"Our signal has value," Allan Cohen, KMOV president and general manager, said Saturday. "We are one of the most popular channels on Charter and we should receive some compensation."
