The contract for Time Warner Cable, the nation's second largest cable company, to carry the Disney owned cable networks (all of the ESPN's Disney Channel, ABC Family, etc.) as well as the ABC owned & operated broadcast stations is due to expire the end of August. This clearly doesn't effect Iowa, but is worth watching as sooner or later, the Mediacom contract to carry the aforementioned cable networks will expire at some point in time. Ultimately, when Time Warner & Disney reach an agreement, the terms of the agreement won't be released, but keep in mind that whatever leverage Time Warner has, Mediacom doesn't have that leverage as Des Moines is Mediacom's largest market.
