Real reason is for both, I work for TWc SoCal, and while we did sign a agreement with the Dodgers, with the other providers wanting access, that will partially pay off the cost of the agrement. Also, there are other network cost, ESPN (Disney) wants a arm and a leg, and so do other channels. It's a trickle down effect... |

and what of the ad revenue generated off this channel which of/is more then enough to pay for its programing costs?
in SATX what is the real reason?? if most everyone in all markets overpays for a internet speed tiers based on actual usage.
so i again say/ask what is the real reason?
why not take that $7 billion and invest in and or TRAIN employees, upgrade/fix/repair equipment |

LOL!!!!!!
a ten year $7 trillion investment in training and repairing/upgrading equipment would net them a much LARGER profit margin then the profit generated from ad revenue for one channel in that 10 year time frame.
so you demand upto 20% quarterly pay increase??
a HUGE chunk of the US population live paycheck to paycheck |

Before you say it, anyone in IT who has some attitude of I'm fine, so screw the other people; well I hate to bring bad news but your job is actually the easiest to outsource today. Therefore, I wouldn't be thinking screw you to anyone. Those that cannot be outsourced, they just bring in folks on h1b visas to replace you. |

Why don't they put those channels (ESPN/Disney and Dodgers) into a separate tier.
I don't care for either set, yet I'm being extorted into paying it. |

I was one of those people back when I was younger and lived on an aerial antenna and a $20/month pay as you go cell phone. |
