here's the financial explanation from espn last week. nfl wants on basic cable, cable co. wants it as a premium channel. nfl is charging to much to be basic cable. for small cable co. it breaks out like $2 per household for ONE channel. bigger co. can do it for like $1-1.50 per house, so cable co. are making it a premium channel or won't carry it all and the nfl doesn't like it and won't lower the price.

sorry, i side with the cable co. on this one. we pay enough for cable as it is. we have internet, digital and HD for $100 a month and we have NO premium channels. i don't need the nfl network for $2 more a month.
