Mediacom Sinclair dispute frays over binding arbitration
Mediacom and Sinclair remain in a stalemate ahead of a Friday deadline with Mediacom accusing Sinclair of a disingenuous stance. Mediacom claims it offered deals for arbitration for a month and cites three settlements in the last three days while noting it has continued payments during a 30 day extension. Mediacom says it provides a valuable service and that CBS viewers can switch to DirecTV or other means to access KGAN and Sinclair stations.
