Re: Insight in Columbus
Well, here's some info from the Columbus Dispatch this AM.
Seems there is a pissing contest between the Big Ten TV network and the cable outlets. As it sits today, 80% of the Big Ten viewing audience will NOT get to see their team play football this year. The network wants $1.10 per month for each cable subscriber (that's subscriber, not viewer) and the cable companies, at least TWC, want to include it as a premium offering so that the viewers have to pay extra.
It's going to be an interesting next four weeks in the Midwest.
But to get to the point, the article also disclosed that TWC has "more than two-thirds" of the Franklin County (Columbus are) cable market. |
