Re: Great.... NOT!

Ah... So is it the NFL that wants to extend the same deal or are they asking for more?

The NFL wants to be on a basic digital tier like MLB Network is and NBA Network soon will be. Seems only fair.

No, NFL wants 70 cents per subscriber and the channel placed on expanded basic. Comcast wants to leave it on the S&E package. NFL will not allow Comcast to carry the channel at all unless it's placed on expanded basic. BF69 is incorrect.

WRONG! The NFL has said it's fine with being on a basic DIGITAL tier. I KNOW my facts I've been following this issue for a couple of years now so please. By teh way comcast FORCES other cable companies to put stations it owns on expaned basic, like Golf Channel. Isn't that a SPORT? yet Charter is NOT allowed ot put it on a sports tier.

So the NFL wants to change the way it is now (sports tier to digital tier) and unless they get their way they will pull the channel?

What happens when the NFL channel starts moving more and more games to NFL-Channel only?

I'd prefer watching my 1-3 games / week on major network channels than having to subscribe to a new football channel that has 7x24 NFL content.

Duh. Of course they want it on a basic tier. Since every subscriber gets the tier.... that means EVERY subscription pays the 70 cents. Thank you, you made his point.
