The Federal Communications Commission is urging Fox and Time Warner Cable to agree to a deal that would keep football games on the cable provider channels.
Time Warner and Fox have been disputing over how much the cable provider pays Fox's owner to retransmit signals for them in some big markets like Los Angeles and New York.
A deadline was set for the two media giants to settle.
The chairman of the FCC urged them to settle, saying that companies shouldn't force football fans to scramble for a way to watch their favorite teams.
