I don't actually know that there was a contractual dispute between CN and the studio in the incident Wifey mentioned, but that was my guess because CN briefly dropped 6teen and Stoked at the same time, and later reinstated both at the same time. (In other words, negotiations on the contract probably took so long that the old contract expired before the network and the studio had a new one to replace it.) I suspect the reason CN didn't drop TDWT as well was because of its serialized story arc and the fact that it was getting close to the end (Final 5 or thereabouts, if memory serves.) Another possibility is that TDWT was under a separate agreement with a different expiry date.

On a peripherally related note, my guess is that CN will start airing TDROTI in June, since that's when it was originally supposed to air last year. If they haven't started airing it by early summer, then they'll probably never air it.
