Re: [HD] BeIN Sports - Coming this month

What on earth is the logic behind putting a minor sports channel on the Ultimate group? Similarly Verizon put the tennis channel in the Ultimate group. Sorry Verizon I refuse to give in to your demands for more money.

I agree but it all comes down to the good "ol dollar". The Sport channel package has much fewer subscribers then a Prime/Extreme/Ultimate package thus only way to meet the BEIN "Ransom" was to sprinkle it over the many rather then the few.

Sad but true as the sports pricing is around 75% of the yearly increase for overall programming since 2010....
