First, the local ABC affiliate gets dumped (There goes two Preseason Titans games, not to mention numerous college FB games); but now CBSSportsNet? I Wonder, when are they gonna discount my ball-breakin' monthly bill for their service? NEVER!
That money is now paying for the deal comcast just redid with DTV. NextStar deal might get done, but CBS deal doesn't look likely. Both sides say CBS is no longer available on DTV and no future plans to negotiate, CBS wants twice the price of any other National broadcast network per subscriber. Some people think it's to include with CBS All Access account.
Im hoping they at least put CBS-Sports on CBS All-Access this fall as a stop gap measure of they cannot get an agreement with these major providers. At least the games would be available to anyone willing to pay for the All-Access service.
