Cost of Time Warner's New 'Family Tier' Raises Eyebrows

David Lieberman writes in USA Today:

Time Warner Cable tried to prove its family values Thursday as it became the first major operator to offer a service for viewers who want to avoid bloody shootouts, steamy love scenes and risqué repartee.

The No. 2 operator said that in early 2006 it will introduce a Family Choice Tier of 15 largely sex-and-violence-free services. It will include Disney Channel, C-SPAN2, HGTV, CNN Headline News and the Weather Channel.

The package will be offered as a $13-a-month alternative to the expanded basic package that includes mature fare such as FX, MTV and Comedy Central.
