CBS cut a deal with Verizon Fios for three more years of carriage of CBS-owned stations – as CBS’s retransmission fee standoff with Time Warner Cable continues. “This important deal was reached swiftly and amicably in just a few days after our conversations began,” CBS chairman Leslie Moonves said in a staff memo. “You should know that Time Warner Cable has been offered almost exactly the same deal.” He added, “Never in my most pessimistic moments did I ever think that [TWC] would have lasted this long and have been so difficult… I am frankly mystified by what appears to be a lack of urgency to resolve this matter for their customers.” In a statement likely aimed at those customers, Verizon’s Terry Denson, VP of video content and strategy, issued a statement saying, “We’ve reached this agreement in partnership with CBS for our customers, so that they may continue to enjoy CBS content on Fios.”

House of Cards star Kevin Spacey offered tough talk about the television industry at the Guardian Edinburgh Television Festival on Thursday. “The success of the Netflix model releasing the entire season of House of Cards at once – has proved one thing: the audience wants control,” said Spacey in a lecture. “Through this new form of distribution, we have learned a lesson that the music industry didn’t: Give the people what they want, when they want it, in the form they want it in, at a reasonable price, and they’ll more likely pay for it than steal it.”
