NFL Network Focuses on Fans
Steven M. Bornstein recently issues a press release talking about how they work hard to deliver to their fans.
Football fans around the country watched a historic game on the last Saturday of the 2007 NFL season as the New England Patriots became the first team in 35 years to go undefeated in the regular season.
There were a few large cable companies that apparently tried to capitalize on the opportunity and blocked millions of fans from watching the game.
If some of the cable companies had their way, however, millions of fans would have missed this game. A few large cable companies tried to punish football fans by refusing to air the NFL Network and the game on reasonable terms.
Fortunately neither DIRECTV nor Dish Network were named as “bad guys”.
NFL Network had the exclusive right to telecast the game. More than 240 cable companies like Cox, along with satellite providers like DirecTV and Dish, and telephone company video providers like AT&T U-Verse and Verizon FiOS, had already reached agreements with NFL Network to carry our programming in its entirety.
