UPDATE 07/25/13 9AM: Time Warner Cable and CBS have extended until Monday July 29, the deadline for resolving a dispute that would yank the network from cable subscribers in many large cities.

CBS Chief Executive Leslie Moonves is warning employees that the network's TV stations may be dropped by Time Warner Cable if a new deal isn't reached by Thursday morning.

"There is a very real threat that Time Warner Cable is going to drop our stations in New York, Los Angeles and Dallas," Moonves wrote in a memo to CBS staffers obtained by the Los Angeles Times.

At issue are fees CBS is seeking from Time Warner Cable to carry its TV stations. The debate only involves TV stations owned by CBS and not all CBS affiliates. Still, that could translate to several million viewers in three key markets and could harm CBS' ratings.

In the memo, Moonves argues that many cable networks that have smaller ratings than CBS are getting more in monthly subscription fees from Time Warner Cable and that the pay-TV distributor is being cheap.
