Cablevision and Mets network

[Guest cleonjones11]

I Kive in Morris County New Jersey and am getting the feeling that Cablevision will shut us out. Any thoughts are appreciated . Thanks!

I have Cablevision and I have no idea what is going to happen, I guess we will find out soon, we should hold a protest outside MSG if the shit hits the fan...

Neil Best's column in Newsday (last Friday?) mentioned that industry insiders thought that things would get done by the start of the season. The agreement that eventually got hammered out with YES pretty much established the going rate and that a channel of this type should be part of a package as opposed to on a seperate pay tier should grease the skids for the new SNY. They also don't think Cablevision has the clout to fight this as hard as they may have in the past since they can't afford to lose more customers to satellite.

That said, none of the involved parties are saying anything except "we're negotiating".
