Ring of Honor carrier HDNet to be dropped by Time Warner Cable

Ring of Honor Wrestling carrier HDNet will be dropped from all Time Warner Cable systems by the end of May, reports MultiChannel News.

Time Warner Cable itself confirmed the news in an announcement this week, citing a lack of mass appeal for HDNet's programming. HDNet and its founder Mark Cuban are trying, so far without success, to date to get the decision reversed. Should the decision stand, the loss of Time Warner Cable carriage would be a crippling blow to the fledgling Ring of Honor Wrestling television program.

As noted when this scenario first threatened two months ago, a severance of HDNet by Time Warner Cable combined with HDNet's preexisting lack of Comcast carriage would make ROH's weekly program inaccessible to the vast majority of the promotion's home fanbase.
