said by fan15 :If that is Verizon's tactic, they undoubtedly will lose many, many viewers -- and that is not a sound business decision.
Unless more cable systems pick them up, only option is satellite. And I can't believe that Verizon would even notice the number of customers that would leave over this one family of channels.
I like sports (maybe not as much as some) but really wish that Verizon get back to adding the more popular channels that are carried by multiple carriers instead.
