MUMBAI: Cablevision‘s one-year offer to Fox has been rejected by the latter on the ground that it could not pay the same rate that Time Warner Cable(TWC) pays to carry Fox 5 in New York and Fox 29 in Philadelphia for a year.
 
Cablevision’s offer was in an effort to bring the standoff between the two companies to an end prior to the first game of the World Series.

Cablevision executive vice president of communications Charles Schueler said that News Corp. rejected the offer and is "operating in bad faith. We call on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to intervene immediately to restore the Fox signals to Cablevision‘s three million homes and order News Corp. to agree to binding arbitration to resolve this conflict."
 
The World Series that began on Wednesday night will air on News Corporation‘s(NWSA) Fox network.

Cablevision has been without Fox programming since their agreement expired on 15 October.
