Message: [QUOTE="whaler11, post: 1737782, member: 676"] This is like reposting conversations from the threads on this board. Cable is losing 1.5 million subs a quarter. The cable providers have walked away from the Dodgers and Yankees. Nobody is expanding. There are professional sports teams all over the country sitting on deals their partner networks have no chance to cover. Watch the Clippers deal: Fox keeps lowering their offer. TWC is dying with the Dodgers. The Clippers threaten all kinds of nonsensical solutions that won't get them anywhere near the new offer $50 million a year offered by Fox. When your games average 57k homes and someone offers you 60 million a year.... asking for 100 million might be the stupidest thing you could do. 57k homes in Los Angeles is 1%. On average 1 frigging percent of the LA TV homes watch the Clippers. And they thought it would make sense to turn down 60 million and ask for 100 million. Hey Clippers if they pay you 0 and lose 0.25% of their subs they are still ahead of the deal they gave you. [/QUOTE]
