WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Time Warner Cable has threatened to go to court to overturn a decision forcing the No. 2 U.S. cable company to reinstate the NFL Network on some of its systems, according to a filing obtained on Monday.
Time Warner, a unit of Time Warner Inc. (TWX.N: Quote, Profile, Research), was ordered last week by the Federal Communications Commission to restore the channel on cable systems it acquired as part of its purchase of bankrupt Adelphia Communications Corp.
The NFL Network had accused the cable operator of dropping the channel in violation of rules that require 30 days notice for doing so and asked the agency to intervene.
The FCC ordered Time Warner to reinstate the channel just days before the NFL preseason gets under way. The network plans to air 54 NFL preseason games and eight regular season prime time games, according to the agency.
