NFL Network

Sorry...

If the Cable companies wanted the Sunday ticket.... They would only have to make the right offer. They want cheap deals to sell expensive packages and make profit.

IF the NFL sold the sunday ticket cheaply to comcast, nothing would change. Comcast would just make more profit. That is what the problem is.

Direct TV made a very intelligent decision to purchase the rights to the Sunday ticket.

it helped them gain ALOT of customers.

Good for them, bad for Comcast....

business intelligence is NEVER a bad thing.

Everbody laughed at DirecTV when they paid 700 ( ?) million dollars for the Sunday Ticket the last time it came up for bid.

Not so funny now, is it ?

When I cancelled my Time Warner Cable account the operator asked why and I said " The NFL Sunday Ticket ".

She sighed and said " the one thing we can't offer "...

Comcast ( and Time Warner ) should get over it and bid when it comes up again.

Until then, get a dish, or a friend who has the Ticket.

Or support your local tavern owner who offers it...

I really don't lose signal very often at all.. in fact, the chances of weather being poor enough to mess with the signal on sunday was even less likely...

sorry to hear you didn't have the same experience. To me, the bad weather just gave me a chance to go out and watch the game at BW3's or some other local bar with the game on a flatscreen.... too easy to bypass Comcast or Time Warner. As long as they continue to rape wallets I intend to boycott!!!

I hope the NFL NEVER sells to Cable... I hope they really make cable pay for this dispute. How often do one of the movie channels actually have a movie worth watching on? The ONLY thing the cable company has to offer is news and sports. If you take the #1 sport out of the picture, and all you have are crappy old movies, MTV / VH1... The Weather channel, and Sports channels...

I actually think its rediculous that soon everyone will have to have either satalite or cable just to watch local channels... its the fleecing of America... NOTHING is free. I can remember my grandpa talking about bottled water... he said "soon they would be selling water in a bottle"... oh how right he was.

screw cable!!

GO NFL!!!!!

I used to get NFL network on Dish Network since it was on its lowest package (top 60 pack) but now its in the top 100 pack. Pisses me off. I guess we'll just watch our games on live streams on NFL.com now.

Sports channels on cable make up 30% of a cable provider's programming costs.

The NFL Network, ESPN and Fox Sports are guilty of holding cable providers hostage asking for larger than average monetary chunks of your cable bill repeatedly and getting it every time...because they know they will. The USA Network is usually top three in cable ratings and charges nowhere near what sports networks charge.

Charging cable providers is the ultimate kickback as that is on top of advertising money that the nets are already getting.

The NFL Network can't whine about this. They charge cable providers much more than Versus, so appropriately, the premium tier is where they need to be placed.
