The amphitheater has been without a title sponsor for more than a year, after a deal with Alltel expired.
The deal with Time Warner, which has a two-year renewal option at the end of five years, will allow the cable company to select shows from the concert schedule to telecast on video-on-demand for cable customers, officials said.
Time Warner also expects to be able to offer advance-sale tickets to select performances to cable customers.
