While everyone was pretty excited to hear that Spectrum would carry the ACC Network, it seems there are some caveats there for legacy Time Warner Cable subscribers. It was recently revealed that those customers would be forced to switch to Spectrum to get the new channel — something that irked U.S. Congressman Anthony Brindisi (D-Utica, N.Y.).
There’s a chance that blocking Time Warner customers from receiving the network violates a consumer fraud settlement that originated in 2016, and was resolved late last year. That’s yet to be determined for sure, and it is the main point of contention from Brandisi — and the point Spectrum refutes here.
