It was in the KC Star back in May, 2005 when they were first talking about it. Apparently it's part of a deal when the two companies bought AT&T cable. " The companies have established a trigger in June 2006 that allows one party to force a breakup. The non-triggering party would get its choice between taking the Kansas City operations and a cable property in southwest Texas, or a Houston property. "More likely than not, what will happen come June of 2006, we'll pull the trigger," Smith said. "When we pull the trigger, we'll put a value on the asset. It's very clear that Time Warner wants Houston. It's quite probable that unless we put too high a price on Houston, that they will end up getting Houston ,and we'll end up with southwest Texas and Kansas City."
