The Glenn Britt broom may not be done sweeping away low-rated channels from Time Warner Cable.
The CEO, who yesterday announced that the arts-focused Ovation channel was being chucked from its lineup, is weighing a similar fate for AMC Networks’ IFC and WE, and Al Gore-backed documentary channel CurrentTV, The Post has learned.
“Just as broadcast and cable networks make decisions to cancel or move shows that fail to perform, we are obliged to make the same decisions with networks,” TWC said in a statement.
Neither TWC nor AMC would comment on the channels’ future on TWC’s 14-million subscriber system.
Ovation, which reaches 51 million households, was in 7 million TWC homes.
Britt had warned earlier this month that it would cut pricey and low-rated channels, saying distribution isn’t a “birthright.”
Ovation, owned by Hubbard Media Group — with the Weinstein Co. as an investor — will disappear from TWC after Dec. 31.
Britt’s move to ax low-rated channels comes as TWC pays more for highly rated sports programming.
Brad Samuels, Ovation’s distribution chief, told The Post that he believes “there is no doubt increasing fees [to ] sports channels and other broadcast networks . . . has created a difficult environment for us.”
