I just turned on my TV to a heart-stopping message:

NFL Network Notice:

Due to declining demand, the NFL NEtwork will be discontinued as early as 9 AM ET on Monday. NFL On Demand will also be discontinued since it is part of the NFL Network.

Charter has a number of other NFL progam options avaiable for the NFL enthusiast such as ESPN, ESPN Classc and local sports programming.

Outside of 495, it's not Comcast or Cox. It's Charter.

so if charter stops showing NFL network, does that mean comcast and cox will as well?

pats1

Probably not.

Methinks, since the Charter contract with NFL Network will probably expire in early January, there's some time of sales pitch/market guaging going on.

Or hell, maybe Charter will snatch Pats onDemand...

I asked about NFL Network and she said Charter is trying to negotiate a price with them but there's a strong possibility it won't be back. The NFL Network charges very high costs to cable companies compared to other stations, and she claimed they are pricing out cable companies by charging fees that only DirecTV can afford because they pass the prices onto customers more than cable.

I asked them to log in a complaint that we want the station, she said to write to the NFL Network if we wanted them to negotiate a fair price with Charter:

Jan. '04: Signed first cable distribution deal with Charter Communications, the third largest cable operator in the country which reaches 25 of our 30 NFL team markets and 6.4 million homes.

Is Charter discontinuing it for all 25 of those regions?!?!?

BS! Thats propaganda from Charter! Directv, Dish Network, Comcast, Cox and many others pay the exact same fee and have zero plans to drop the network, contact Charters main office and log your complaint with them, the fair price statement from charter is a joke, and a lie.

Considering they originally told you it was being dropped for lack of demand, and than that story changed to it being to expensive.

PatsWorldChamps

dont worry, they'll add a shopping channel... those are free to the cable companies

SaCaCh

actually they aren't free, they get PAID to take shopping channels and thats why they will spred them around tiers sometimes. This is a ploy to anger the cable buyers and have them complain to the NFl, because Charter wants a cheaper price than the others...pure BS.
