Agreed, Sean - and a little off topic, but I'm a Comcast customer in Atlanta and I have a scroll running across the screen on the NFL Network that says Comcast will no longer be carrying the NFLN starting May 1st.

This is bad people, I don't watch ESPN and now I'm losing NFLN -

Anyone know what's going on other than the same 'ole BS from NFL and the Cable Networks??

Comcast is pulling NFLN, too? I'm on Charter - had it for a little while, but haven't in years now.

The NFL needs to get their heads out of their ***** and realize they can't charge a premium for the NFLN - few cable companies are going to pay that in this economy.

*sigh*

that's another reason to get DirecTV, that and the Sunday Ticket with the Red Zone Channel. It has been incredible the last couple of years being able to watch all the pat games.

WHAT?! Is this nationwide with Comcast? NFLN is the only channel I ever watch, and I have to pay Comcast a premium to get it.

I'm confused. Isn't the contention between the NFLN and cable companies because the NFL wants to be considered part of the regular cable packages and the cable companies want to be able to charge extra?

I have yet to get the NFLN because I'm a Time Warner customer in Maine.

I have the same thing, but I actually went to the website

I Want NFL Network

in the scrolling banner. I think that some people still got it for free and now everyone has to pay the $5 to have the sports tier on their cable. There isn't much info at that webpage.

Unfortanetly my apartment balcony faces west so I am kinda screwed on getting Direct Tv.

Yea, I'm confused as well. The only thing I do understand is that after almost 2 years of having the NFLN - It will be gone May 1st on Comcast (At least in Atlanta).

That sucks even more than never having it. At least I don't know what I'm missing, then you are told, "thanks, but no thanks".

Yes, the NFL is trying to strongarm the cable companies and force them to not only carry the NFLN, but to carry it on the basic cable package. The cable companies want to carry it as part of premium packages. I believe that the NFL also was asking for more per person than the typical basic tier channel receives, but I could be remembering that part incorrectly.
