Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Just a single line in Phil Mushnick's NYPost column today, but:"The Mets' new SportsNet NY, say sources, has reached an agreement with DirecTV "What's encouraging here - aside from those who use DirecTV obviously - is that the channel's availability on satellite gives cable customers an alternative which in turn will put pressure on the cable companies to strive for an agreement. Cablevision, for instance, lost a significant # of subscribers to satellite TV with their whole YES flap a few years back - customers who most likely never returned even after things were settled - and now have an incentive not to do so again.
