According to reports, “Power’s” Starz network is bumping heads over a New York TV contract with provider Altice USA.

Starz and Encore channels went dark on Altice USA cable systems in New York area as the new year dawned and the sides failed to come to terms on a new carriage agreement. Altice said in a statement that Starz refused the MVPD’s efforts to set a short-term contract extension while negotiations continued past the midnight ET deadline. (Variety)
