It's game day, who's got the NFL RedZone Channel?

NFL RedZone Channel
The wait is finally over and today's the first big Sunday of the NFL Season which means that you're probably making your last minute preparations. As far as programing goes, the NFL has done a great job of getting carriage for its new NFL RedZone channel, but of course not everyone is going to carry it -- sorry Time Warner Cable and Bright House Network customers. So here's a run down of the Winners. Comcast, Dish Network and AT&T U-Verse customers made out the best because all they have to is subscribe to a $5 (aprox) sports package. Verizon FiOS and RCN customers didn't make out as well though as they will have to pay $49 for the season without any other channels included -- but hey at least they got it. For the rest of you, not much you can do, just keep calling your provider and voicing your desires and in the meantime maybe someone of Twitter will hook you up with access to their SlingBox HD.

Two down, everyone else to go for NFL's new RedZone channel


The fact that the new RedZone channel is coming to Comcast is old news, but no one really knew how much it was going to cost. No surprises, but it'll be offered on the Comcast Sports Entertainment Package which goes for $7.99 a month. DISH Network will also be offering it in a similar package called the Multi-Sport Package which goes for $5.99 a month. This seems totally worth it for what you get, but do wish it wasn't extra -- you can probably get a deal if you call and complain. The network goes live on September 13th at 1pm, but we'll all have to wait and see if any other providers announce carriage in the next few weeks.

NFL & Comcast reach agreement: NFL Network switches to digital classic by August 1


Forget all the fights and accusations, the NFL Network and Comcast have reached an agreement that will see the channel moved from the sports tier to its Digital Classic level by August 1, available to almost 2/3 of the company's subscribers. Also coming to cable bound NFL fans? Video on-demand content and Comcast will have the "ability" to offer the no longer exclusive NFL Redzone Channel when it launches. No word on what this means for any other operators but we wouldn't be surprised if this deal is just the first of several providing wider access to NFL Network. Now, just to see how much our cable bill jumps in the fall to know the real cost of this addition.
