Two weeks, and counting. That's how long KWQC-tv, the Quad Cities NBC affiliate, has been off the Mediacom cable system.
Mediacom dropped the Davenport-based station July 14th when it could not reach agreement with its parent company, Media General, on a new contract.
The dispute is over how much the cable company should pay Media General for the right to carry KWQC programs.
There is a glimmer of hope though. When contacted today, a spokesman for Mediacom said, "both sides have been talking more frequently this week and have both moved closer." But there's no deal to announce yet.
