[edit] Retransmission disputes

The Cattaraugus County division of Atlantic Broadband has seen several television disputes with the stations in the Buffalo, New York market. Currently, WIVB-TV claims that Atlantic Broadband is distributing WIVB's signal without "the authority to do so."[1] WGRZ-TV had a contract dispute with Atlantic Broadband as well in December 2006, although a deal was eventually reached.[2]
