Fezmid Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I understand Time Warner not carrying NFL Network - that's their right. However, things get really murky when a company owns channels AND the delivery mechanism. It's one of the big reasons I was in favor of HD DVD vs Blu-Ray, bceause Sony owns the movie studio, the largest stake in the format (licensing fees), and makes players. Seems like the FCC agrees: http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/11/the-f...the-nfl-networ/

It doesn't say they can't dump them after their contract expires.
The Dean Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 This is far from over...but, GOOD! Good for the FCC!
The Dean Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 The Freakin FCC? "Trouser-friendly kiss" I love that one.
