  Changes are on the way for Cable and broadband subscribers across New York State.

The New York State Public Service Commission once again is delaying a vote on the $45 billion Time Warner Cable-Comcast merger. January 22nd is the new deadline for the state to wrap up its review of the merger.
 
Insiders say delaying a P.S.C. vote on the nationwide merger gives Governor Andrew Cuomo extra time to negotiate reforms to the cable industry that will impact users in the state. A vote is set for January 27th, just ahead of an FCC vote in February on net neutrality, whihc will also impact cable customers.
