Cable provider RCN issued a statement Tuesday criticizing the Lehigh Valley IronPigs and Service Electric for their exclusive agreement to broadcast all of the team's home games.

The company called the team's 10-year deal with Service Electric, the only other cable company that serves the Valley, exclusionary and a disturbing precedent.

multichannel tv providers have every right to cut exclusive deals to retain and attract customers. looks what direc tv did with nfl and major league baseball.

Re: games

RCN is sore loser on this one, nobody cuts multi-channel sports deals, especially in small town markets

if your local to the LHV, you'll know SE has RCN beat on local sports coverage
