The actual headline is "Time Warner Cable drops arts channel" which talks about the Ovation channel being dropped because nobody tunes in, as an aside it also mentions that Current TV was dropped after being acquired by Al Jazeera.

Now I suspect the person who submitted this thought there was some weird conspiracy about Al Jazeera and Time Warner and what not but the reality is that when a channel changes ownership previous contracts get voided, sometimes that gives folks an easy out. In this case it looks like they took that out.
