Fox Networks Group CEO Tony Vinciquerra sounded optimistic in recent media interviews regarding the fight between News Corp. and Time Warner: “If we can make significant progress in the next two days, we can get a deal done,” Vinciquerra told Bloomberg News.
In a another interview with Reuters, the exec indicated that negotiations would likely continue down to the wire. “The only way you walk away from the table getting as much as you can is by facing it down at the last moment,” he said. However, Vinciquerra appears not to be budging from his demands that Fox receive $1.00 per subscriber per month from Time Warner Cable, a figure the cable company insists would set a benchmark for the other major networks and eventually boost the monthly bills of cable-TV subscribers.
