Cable channel AMC's parent company, Cablevision, broke its contract with Time Warner Cable when it programmed AMC with less old movies, the cableco has claimed in a lawsuit filed on Thursday.

The move is the latest in a series of legal wrangles between the two parties. The saga began a month ago when AMC, worried that Time Warner Cable was going to drop it from channel lineups, filed a lawsuit against the cableco claiming TWC was breaking its contract by trying to cut the carriage fees charged by the network to use AMC as a bargaining chip between Time Warner and Cablevision over other negotiations. This latest lawsuit from TWC is therefore in effect a counter-suit, with the cableco claiming that because AMC now shows more modern movies, it's "no longer a classic film service," and therefore the contract was broken on their side.
