i am not referring to smaller channels trying to leverage their sole channel. i am not surprised Time Warner told MSG to take a hike. how many subscribers are going to change because of MSG? i am referring to package deals of very popular channels. NBC can package the deal with channels such as NBC, NBCSports, MSNBC, USA Network, Bravo, The Weather Channel, etc. You start missing some of those channels and people will switch. Disney and Fox are the same way. Time Warner to some extent as well
 
anyways, we are a long way away when NBC sports and NBC have the opportunity to push the providers. right now they are just looking for sticky eyeballs to build their brand. with versus, you never know what you could expect (bull riding, cycling, MMA, one of my favs in beach volleyball), and as i mentioned, most people didn't even know it existed. NBCSN has a good opportunity in front of them with the olympics, but they need some big time sports to create repeat customers. unfortunately, all these deals are done in long term contracts so it takes a while for them to come up for negotiation again
