It's kind of funny they are getting this worked out just as all of the major sports are finishing up their seasons. Nothing like reruns for 5 months until football starts again.

I am afraid of what this agreement will do for precedent.

Now all conference stations will want the same treatment if on the lower tier.

-keep.

BTN must be free to get the logs rolling.

If they sign a deal with Comcast, Mediacom will be forced to follow.

Sweet.

But they'll show the RAGBRAI "race," right?

I still think its a niche channel that should be put on a premium sports tier. Was hoping Comcast would hold out on it.

I'd say the same thing if this was a B12 Network.
