Astound → Re: [Need Info] Phillies Baseball

Has anyone received a response from RCN this Spring to this thread, their emails, or tweets?

The Phillies are on TCN tonight. I was really hoping that we would have this channel for this season.

Not a word.

@heggs, oprah's channel is a borefest but it is owned by discovery networks that sells channels in a bundle to operators such as rcn. OWN costs a few cents per month versus a couple of dollars per month for any channel that has live sports. ESPN alone costs around $6 a month.

yes this sucks for phillies fans but whatever RCN decides its a business decision and its your decision whether to stay as a customer or go to the competition.

So your saying its a cost issue? A small market local cable company in the valley here (I won't mention any names) has had the channel for a few years now so price to add it is a poor excuse for such a huge market that RCN has. Also TCN is a secondary channel of the Comcast Sports Network not an ESPN so it would be, as per your reply,a BUNDLE at a very minimal price to add cause RCN already carries CSN.

Maybe our spokesperson for the RCN forum (Emily) can help us out on this matter and get a reply from corporate to us. I know she has been very helpful on other issues on this forum.
