 From what I hear, this is typical of Time Warner.  Back when Babylon 5 was 
being produced, series creator Joe Straczynski described it a collection of 
independent kingdoms competing with each other.  This was how he explained 
why B5, after the demise of the PTEN pseudo-network, couldn't just move to 
the WB network.  The show had belonged to a rival, therefore the WB 
wouldn't consider touching it.

And we've all heard about the power struggles between AOL and other 
divisions over the past few years.
