    The Bobcats are trying to make a deal so that theyre games can be played on Time Warner Cable.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"Negotiations between Time Warner Cable and the Charlotte Bobcats for next season's TV package may put the NBA franchise's games on the cable company's News 14 channel, sources close to the talks say." Charlotte Business Journal

    "A decision is anticipated by month end. The Bobcats begin regular-season play Nov. 5. The search for a new TV plan follows the team's decision two months ago to shut down its short-lived regional sports network, known as C-SET. Industry experts estimate C-SET lost $15 million between startup costs and lack of advertising." Charlotte Business Journal

    "Now Time Warner Cable and the Bobcats are searching for a way to put as many as 60 games on a Time Warner-controlled channel. The goal: getting away from the digital tier, which reaches 40% of subscribers, and finding a home on a wider-reaching analog cable location." Charlotte Business Journal

    "The Bobcats plan to keep over-the-air, free TV games on WJZY-TV. Last season, WJZY carried 15 games. Tapscott says the station will have a similar number this season." Charlotte Business Journal</div>

    I thought the Bobcats would eventually get their games aired on BET, since the owner was the former CEO of BET.
