What's the difference? BTN wasn't offering UConn sports. Of course there are ways that they can fix that shortcoming.I think this reinforces something I've been saying.
Fox and the BTN are out of their minds if they think they're infiltrating NYC. !
It's a coup that SNY got CT to pay $2.XX. But if PSU can't get BTN on E. Pa. cable, it's not going to happen in NYC either.
I wonder if the revenue projections being so off impact the contract signed with the new BE? I haven't seen anything but guesstimates as to what the schools are actually getting.
From what I understand, there was essentially no deal made on FS1 and basically all providers that had a deal for Speed will be getting "upgraded" for free except for Comcast which signed a long term deal already.
It makes sense - FS1 won't be getting that much in terms premium programming until next year when they start getting some pro sports on there. Until then it's basically a rebranded Speed + some Big 12 / Pac 12 games.
Me too! Ironically, the whole reason FOX decided to launch FS1 is because FOX Soccer lost EPL to NBC.Anyone know what channel FS1 will be on Cox? Can't find it in my HD or non HD guide. I'm not losing sleep over it as I'm enjoying some EPL on NBCSN

What FS1 needs now is carriage. Once they have that, they'll begin renegotiating the price they can charge.
It will be interesting to see which companies refuse to budge on the .23 they pay now.
For how long is the $0.23 rate in effect per month? Is that renegotiated every year? 2 years? etc.Bad outcome for the ESPN haters? Fox wanted 80 cents for FS1 and pretty much got 23.

Um... they launched with 90 million homes. There is no more carriage to get.
Comcast has a long term deal for an unpublicized amount. Everyone else is riding out the speed contract which will be renegotiated when that expires sometime in the next 3 years.
How many of those contracts will jump from the .23 they pay now, to .80 (or more) Fox wants, when the renegotiations begin? That will be an interesting thing to watch.
