How about Sportsnet New York? They offer about 75% of the Mets games and some non-game Jets content. They charge $1.80 per customer.

I don't know, I don't have the NFL Network. I'll rephrase.
You don't think a station that shows at least 1 NFL game per week is more attractive than a station that will only show OSU when we are playing Nobody Tech? The other times it will be showing Nobody Tech vs Nobody State in women's badminton.

You never know, that may be worth a look.

Again, 1 NFL game per week? Since when? I'd rather watch OSU vs. Nobody Tech than the content on NFL Network (and I have NFL Network to be able to make the comparision). Also I think you're significantly underestimating the programming which the BTN will offer. My only complaint will be if Directv doesn't offer all games which are airing at the same time and I get stuck with PSU vs. Nobody Tect instead of no OSU at all. |

The Enquirer - Skirmish could black out OSU
Just as I feared. T-W is pissing around. OSU fans in Cincinnati had better get their voice out there... or go to Direct TV...hmmmmm. At least I'd own my own HDTV receiver then.

(April 11, 2007) -- NFL Network announced its eight-game regular-season schedule airing in the "Run to the Playoffs" national primetime package. All eight games -- five on Thursdays and three on Saturdays -- will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET. NFL Network's schedule features teams which combined for five playoff berths and three division titles in 2006.

And after those first few weeks, will you still be watching the channel? Besides, I doubt a casual TV viewer is going to be as interested in an OSU blowout as an NFL game, where anyone can win.

I think part of the problem is - while we might all consider ourselves "big ten fans" there is no way I'm watching, say, Northwestern v. Purdue on the BTN when I can watch a game like Georgia Florida, or whatever the major networks (or even ESPN) has on at the same time.
That's the same problem the "ESPN + game of the week" has... who the hell wants to see Indiana v. Illinois - save for Illinois and Indiana fans? No one. So.... getting back to BTN - teams that carry big fanbases - OSU, PSU, Michigan.. the BTN ratings will be good when those games are on regardless of opponant. But, no OSU fan (Ok, FEW) are skipping Texas Oklahoma to see Michigan State knock heads with Minnesota.
