...that was in line with what we pay other programmers," says Charles Schueler, Cablevision EVP. Minutes after the show started, Bob Iger reportedly gave his OK from the red carpet, just in time for Penélope Cruz to glide onto the screens of Cablevision customers in the New York City area to present the award for Best Supporting Actor.

Fox had a similar altercation with Time Warner Cable in New York City in December, when Fox threatened to pull all its broadcast and cable channels if the cable company didn't pony up more money.

Counter Culture has stores, and even training centers, in Asheville, Charlotte and Durham, N.C.; Atlanta; New York City; and Washington, D.C. But there's just no way any farm-to-cup roaster can open up 60 stores, let alone 16,000-plus like Starbucks.
