Happy to be wrong...but my guess is that in the next go around it will be tough for SNY to keep that 2.55 per HH. Could be push back to a lower figure. And BTN w/UConn, might fetch a far lower number than 2.55. Maybe more like a 1.50. Blow me away if you have good data to the contrary.

The BTN is charging almost everyone the same. .37 for out of Big Ten territory and $1.00 in.

And maybe they would continue that policy, but if they chose to charge $2.55 in Connecticut, they would get it, and it would assure the addition was profitable.

Even at $1.00 in Connecticut, adding UConn might still be profitable when you factor in increased exposure of Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Michigan State, etc in New England and New York.

Good luck jamming another $2.50 a month into bills for programming 5% of the population is going to view. If they don't try to get that much in Ohio or Michigan - how
could they get it Connecticut.

It's less than a million cable homes - at $1.00 they don't even gross $12 million a year.

Connecticut is over 1.3 million cable homes. You're thinking of the Hartford DMA.

If the cable companies move SNY back off basic where they were before picking up UConn, they have an extra $2.55 for the BTN right there.

The BTN is already getting the dollar in FFLD and SNY wasn't off basic everywhere.
