Even then they are never "officially" talking. An agreement just magically shows up when they work things out.
The clock is ticking guys. This $210 a month customer is days away from switching due to SNY going away (Taking the channel off the guide is identical to MSG... I've seen THIS movie and I know how it ends). If you are hellbent on ditching as many sports as you can and becoming a service for people who hate sports only (except for those international sports fans), then I need to go (or downgrade to one box and the bare minimum so I can keep my archived content until I burn it all up). I hope that someone there gives a damn. Churn numbers in NYC have to be spiking, at what point do they take notice and make a deal (or is it a "last one to leave please turn out the lights" kind of deal)
