I hooked my comutper to my 65″ flat screen for watch live football and now your software works just like my previous satellite dish service, except 100 times cheaper. Thank you!

JT4ya:

The reason TW/Brighthouse does not have NFL Network if because of the NFL’s greed not the cable company’s. If you have 100 million customers the NFL wants all 100 million to pay. If only 10 million of your customers want NFLN its not fair to make the other 90 million pay an increased rate for something they don’t care about.

You mean like about 30 percent of the channels Out House Networks currently has?

All of this is pointless really, Brighthouse should simply have the NFL channel and all this will they, won’t they, do they would be moot, well except it might not be a sellout in which case its still sort of moot.

I will tell you that the last Cowboys game in 09 (morris’s first game) was a sellout thanks to the Glaziers, as huge swaths of the stadium were empty seats…not as many as other games but by no means did Cowboy fan fill in the stadium.

Being later in the season maybe Cowboy fan will show up if his team is in a playoff race but maybe not.

“We send out these memos every NFL season to customers if they do not have ESPN/NFLN.”

Have to agree with mr. “doesn’t” b/c the same thing happened up in Jax before I transfered down here. WAWS won the rights to air the Jags game that was on NFLN. The game just has to be sold out.

No not grandstanding. Just trying to “un-worry” the “worrisome”. Our links our intranet so there is nothing for me to send. Plus, I’m not going to risk my position over someone “trying to call me out.” However, the trib and sptimes have it in their articles.

We’ll be sending out correspondence in the next 30 days to our customers. If you want “documentation,” you can get it from them.

Now this may be a way around things:

Verizon Wireless customers can get an NFL app that streams the NFL Network 24/7 including live game coverage.

You seem to know a lot about this. How about providing some link to documents — not Wikipedia — so Joe can clear this up.

Or are you just grandstanding?

And for the record, bidding occurs between the stations the cable companies contacts and the NFL. Highest bidder earns the game.

Regarding your Jets comment, WPIX in NY carries the majority of the NFLN games for the Giants and the Jets.

Joe learned long ago not to trust Wikipedia.

Last night and this morning, Joe sent out emails and Twitter messages to many in the NFL media and the NFL offices including the NFL Network to confirm/deny the game will be farmed out to a local over-the-air station. As of 10:36 a.m. Joe has not received a reply from anyone.

Last night Joe contacted the Bucs and a spokesman told Joe he did not know.

And “admin”, that was up to your carrier to turn it down. NFL sends letters to providers with what is allowed to be broadcast and the broadcasting stations have the right to accept or deny dependent on programming. For example, if your provider inquires with CBS or NBC to simulcast the game (if they are allowed two) and they both say “Sorry, the Jets SUCK” then no Jets game on TV. However, if the game IS sold out, the provider overrules ANYTHING the broadcasting station has to say and will show it.
