Fox wants Time Warner cable to pay more to carry the Fox brands.  Time Warner is balking.  The warring parties have until Thursday to come to terms.  Monday Time Warner put out an ad that looks like a ransom note:  "Pay our price or you'll never see Fox again."

NYDN's Richard Huff:  Fox, meanwhile, has been running a campaign against Time Warner telling viewers not to believe the cable giant's claims and they can get Fox programming elsewhere. "If they get tough, you don't have to roll over," the latest Fox spot says.

It's not just Fox fighting with the cable giant over increased fees.
