Time Warner Cable Inc.’s negotiations to renew rights to ESPN may be held up on a demand by the sports channel’s owner, Walt Disney Co., to be paid for a related website, two people with knowledge of the talks said.
Disney is seeking a fee of about 10 cents a month per Web customer for ESPN3.com, said one of the people, who declined to be identified because the talks haven’t concluded. Time Warner Cable is resisting the fee, both people said.
