| Smells Fishy. I have RCN cable and we have a couple Comcast Sports Net channels, including the HD versions. You don't see Comcast acting all selfish and greedy like Cablevision.
Pretty pathetic what's goin on out East... |

Pretty pathetic what's goin on out East... Aside from ignoring most posts on how MSG and MSG+ are being broadcasted on DirecTV and Time Warner perhaps you should realize that negotiating a deal for content is like that of any other contract, typically in good faith to which both parties mutually benefit.
One business does not typically go to a federal governing body and try to get them to issue a verdict on a sweet deal from another unless it threatens the profitability of their entire model, this example doesn't seem to no matter the money burned through lobbying. |

There's a huge difference. Those Comcast SportsNet channels are distributed by satellite and have to be open to any competitors who are willing to pay the price for them. However Comcast's one network that isn't, their flagship CSN Philly, they refuse to even NEGOTIATE with satellite providers. |

Comcast only owns about 25% of Sports Net Chicago the teams own the rest. |
