Not only that, but the pricing delta is so large between this and a cable package that you will Archived Message

inevitably see far more pushback and disputes between the cable companies and the networks. The cable companies are going to have to cut prices, so Delaney's $1.10 or whatever per month per subscriber cable tax is going to plummet to like 50 cents. Previous Message JMHO, but a lot of BTN's revenue is based on the idea that everyone who has cable in Chicago, Indy, Detroit, Minneapolis (and now NYC) has to pay for BTN. Are you a DePaul or Pitt fan?? No interest in that Rutgers/Nebraska women's field hockey game? The model as designed is just about what some noted businessmen in a Scorsese movie once said: " FU, pay us ". This model has slowly been reduced with the so-called cable slicers: and now you'll give people yet another way to only buy what they want. Increases the momentum away from Don Delaney's model.
