said by Jeremy W: WOW is the only major cable provider without NFL Network, for instance.
I'm not sure how much it relates to the NFL Network (or MLB Network) issue and we are all subscribers so we are biased but I don't think WOW is considered a "major cable provider".
They've certainly made inroads, mostly through aquisitions, but they are still regional and not national. Being national would go a long way to being "major".
