Just bring MNF back to ABC. That's all I want. I really really want to dump pay TV altogether and go with OTA only, but I need my MNF.

F Comcast for making it a Pay channel .. the other channels in the Sports pkg are lame-o ..
Charles @ Apr 9th 2009 5:51PM
I'd prefer NFL Network to the Big 10 channel.
Ibrahim @ Apr 9th 2009 7:25PM
I don't mind paying for what I want. I pay to subscribe to WWE 24/7 why not pay for something you enjoy watching? Why does EVERYONE have to share the burden of paying for something you watch? Would it be fair to make EVERYONE pay for me to have WWE 24/7 on basic cable?

No contest. I love the NFL way more than Comcast. I hate Comcast. But that is a stupid question anyway. No way NFL network should be on basic cable, at least not with the current pricing structure.

Yea, Comcast pulled that same "it's the xth most expensive channel we have" argument when negotiating over the Big Ten Network. The big blunder was when they admitted that ESPN was in fact their single most expensive channel and yet somehow they didn't put *that* in the sports tier. Oops.
UALRAMOS @ Apr 10th 2009 2:14PM
I would rather keep the NFL channel on the Sports Tier if the cost is that high. Espn is fine on Basic as it offers alot moer that just 7 games a year. I add the Sports package when I need it and then dump it after the last game.

Carriage disputes are fun. LOL
Comcast (and all the other cable companies) are playing for pride after being denied NFL Sunday Ticket for so long.
Meh, no matter. If you want NFL so much, switch to DirecTV.
Michael @ Apr 9th 2009 10:29PM
On the digital cable message Comcast sent us it said despite our best efforts yada yada yada

"We like the NFL, but we also hate higher basic cable bills for stuff not everyone wants to watch."
Yeah bring on a few more religious channels and shopping channels cause we all love paying $45/mo for that crap.
keith @ Apr 13th 2009 12:28AM
Religious channels and shopping channels are given free to cable companies. They cost you nothing.
Virtuous @ Apr 10th 2009 12:24AM
Comcast should show the greedy NFL the door!
Nirvan @ Apr 10th 2009 3:00AM
I'd side with Comcast a bit more if they actually delivered on some of their other 'promises' like more HD channels, SDV, speed they claim, etc.....
And yes I'm all for pay for what you want, but than let me pay for the 15 channels I want and take the rest away.
MrM @ Apr 10th 2009 3:50AM
i agree with comcast. NBAtv, MLB Network, and NHL network are just fine being in the sports tier. SPECIALIZED channels go to a specialized tier. and the NFL's argument about comcast having their own sports channels on basic is BS cause they are local sports channels. with that argument the NFL must feel that them and ESPN are the only sports channels that belongon basic. as far as im concerned the NFL Network is boring as hell. could do without. as a matter of fact i do just fine right now without it.
Jay @ Apr 10th 2009 9:02AM
If Comcast pulls NFLN, I'll drop my Comcast.
john kinney @ Apr 24th 2009 10:32AM
i'll drop comcast too! go to verizon fios better technology, faster and a littel cheaper even with a box for each tv.
gt1racer47 @ Apr 10th 2009 9:40AM
Yay, Now Just add a channel Like ESPNews HD or The Weather Channel HD and maybe I'll stay with comcast!
WilliamLove1978 @ Apr 10th 2009 10:28AM
I side with Comcast. There just isn't enough variety or content on the NFL Network. I love my NFL but I get along well without the NFL Network. It's a boring channel. Hopefully that ESPN Classic/ ESPNU swap happens. It would be great to get ESPNU.
Andrew @ Apr 11th 2009 1:28AM
Where were all of you when the NFL and TWC were fighting over this? It is the same arguments all over again, but this time everyone agrees with the cable company.
james @ Apr 11th 2009 12:39PM
cya later comcast.....you lost me as a customer.
MacDoc @ Apr 13th 2009 10:35AM
Any day now they will have FOIS in my area, and it will be BY BY Comcast!
