As I understand it, number of TVHHs within a footprint only matter if the channel gets on the standard package where every subscriber of the cable/dish company is paying the price for it regardless of whether or not they watch it.  This is the advantage the BTN and SECN and even P12N have over the ACC.  The states within their footprints, 90% or more of the TVHHs will have to pay the full price since it will be part of the standard package.

I presently receive both the BTN and SECN, but that is because I have purchased a preferred package that includes ESPNU, ESPNNews, NBCSports, and CBSSports along with a bunch of other channels that are non-sports related.

So having a larger pool to draw from only matters if they have already purchased the right preferred package or for those outside of Virginia and North Carolina getting an ACCN matters enough to them to want to go from the standard package to the preferred package.

At least that is how I see it.

Cheers,
