IMO - This is due to the (as written in the Rocky provided link pointing to the documented) litigation history.
And to me seems more a direct result of COMCAST takeover of TIMEWARNER grabbing 1/3 of USA Cable and Overall Media control. Translation - dictatorship.

Anyone else remember the breakup of "MA BELL" aka Bell Telephone systems? Seemingly we are allowing the same Pre-Breakup market dominating to occur right now that covers TV/Print & Digital Media/Cable/Internet all in a bundled packaged by a single conglomerate.
Ex: COMCAST-Universal-NBC

Dumping entities that make "the deal" sweeter to the investors and pumping up the "curb appeal" of the merger regardless of the collateral damage. Sux!
