Fox is starting to tell Altice subscribers via messages on its broadcast stations and cable networks that they face a potential blackout of programming. Fox and Altice have been in discussions for the past several weeks, according to a person familiar with the matter, but remain “materially apart” on terms. The companies’ current contract is slated to end at midnight Thursday, this person says. Meanwhile, Altice believes Fox is seeking rate increases that would be onerous to subscribers.
Approximately 2.5 million subscribers could be affected. Altice provides service to viewers in pockets around the nation, but its biggest and most lucrative area is the one around New York City.

Let the games continue. Altice USA and Fox have reached a new carriage agreement just before a Friday midnight deadline that would have blacked out Optimum programming for New York area viewers.
Sydney Sweeney has insisted her comments about not earning enough to take a break were "taken out of context". During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in July, the Euphoria star admitted she could not afford to take a six-month break from acting because she doesn't "have income to cover that". However, in a new interview with ELLE magazine published on Thursday, the actress clarified the context behind the quote and insisted her comments had been "kind of skewed".
As the fall sports calendar reaches a peak moment, especially in New York with the Yankees in the playoffs and the Jets finally on a winning path, Fox Corp. has warned Altice customers that a carriage fight could knock sports and other programming off the air.
Deadline confirmed on Tuesday.The sci-fi flick was based on Jean-Claude Forest’s French comic book series and starred Fonda, now 84, as a glamorous futuristic space astronaut as she battles evil across the cosmos.Roger Vadim directed the picture over 50 years ago and while the movie originally wasn’t a box office hit, it became a cult classic over the years.The film earned much praise in the United Kingdom, and it became the year’s second-highest-grossing film. A director, writer and a full cast list have yet to be announced. John Phillip Law, Anita Pallenberg, Milo O’Shea, Marcel Marceau and Claude Dauphin also starred alongside Fonda in “Barbarella.”The “White Lotus” star is currently has several projects under her belt, including a supportive role in the “Spider-Man” spinoff, “Madame Web.”Sweeney, who just launched a production company of her own, also recently finished shooting the movie “National Anthem” with singer Halsey.The Washington-born actress caused a stir earlier this year when she claimed “they don’t pay actors like they used to” — despite her Emmy nomination, starring roles in upcoming movies and her first $3 million mansion.However, in August, she spoke to IndieWire at length about her growing career and that she feels that she has an array of options when picking her roles.
When you think of the film “Barbarella,” it’s almost impossible to think of anyone else other than Jane Fonda. The actress is synonymous with the character, thanks in large part to her costuming in the film.
? Sydney Sweeney, that’s who.The breakout is reportedly gearing up to star in a campy Barbarella reboot. Inspired by a comic book series written by French author Jean-Claude Forest in the early ’60s, the original movie, directed by Fonda’s then-husband Roger Vadim, has developed a cult following since flopping at the box office in 1968, with whispers of a reimagining first circulating in 2018 after Dynamite Entertainment reissued the comic.Paco Rabanne contributed to the wardrobe of the original 1968 film.It’s futile to attempt to distill Barbarella’s plot, but it sees its titular heroine (Fonda), a wide-eyed “astronavigatrix,” travel to faraway planets in the 41st century to retrieve “a positronic ray” from the villain Durand Durand, whom Earth’s inhabitants fear may use it to cause mass destruction.
