[QUOTE="CaliforniaCheez, post: 121301, member: 167"] This is a politician looking out for a corporate sponsor of his election campaigns. Cable operaters are resisting the NFL telling them how to run their business. The NFL wants their programing access to the cable systems. There is a market value for that. However, the NFL wants its network as part of the "basic subscription package". They also want a sizable chunk of the revenues. The problem is that the NFL network programing is expensive and would raise basic cable rates by a sizable percentage greatly affecting subcription rates and revenue. The cable operators know premium programing when they see it and want to treat the NFL network as a premium channel. I'm longing for the day when technology allows for an a la carte menu of television programing instead of packages or a compromise of permitting a "chinese menu" of allowing selections within a subgroups. 10 good (for me) channels are better than a hundred like QVC, Univision, and Lifetime networks [/QUOTE]
