New statement from AT&T is just ridiculous: Hey, AT&T: they're not allowed to do that even if they wanted to. Try reading up on MLB and NBA...
The providers don't have to advertise; they're supporting the status quo, which is doing nothing. The person wanting change, in this case adding a...
Exactly. There's no way to make a comparison, unless we can get Comcast, Phonoscope or any other CSN provider to turn over their numbers for both...
HA. This is the NBA, a sport driven by stars. Everything you said -- "team basketball", "exciting to watch", "blue-collar toughness" -- can be...
Absolutely, and her "intolerable" statement was directed toward the providers, not CSN Houston. Moreover, while CSN Houston had already agreed to...
We're talking about both franchises. It's rare for both the Astros and Rockets to go three years without any postseason appearances and without...
You're indirectly doing it, if you're using evidence from the past three years to make a projection as to the channel's worth. I don't know how...
Ha. Sorry, I'll take her actual words over a vague "impression" from someone whose mind was already made up.

If this is the point, then **** the providers for ruining the hopes of the Astros/Rockets franchises over the next 20+ years by not being willing...
The reason I brought up contracts was the article I quoted. The Astros' prior contract with FSN ended in November 2004. If the contracts are as...
So someone who doesn't care to watch the Astros is suddenly going to be blown away and riot over expanded pre-game and post-game shows? :confused:...
It's funny how you of all people -- the guy who spouts "CONTRACT TERMS" over and over again as an excuse for providers -- now acts as if contracts...
1.) We have zero real knowledge of the asking rate. 2.) Every RSN in the entire United States gets their dollar figure from every subscriber on...
"Obviously"? Speak for yourself. To me, the answer is false. The cable company gives you things like HBO because most extended-basic customers...
No, you haven't. You showed ratings evidence from 2011 and 2012 and acted as if that's indicative of projected ratings over a 20-year period....
