Time Warner Cable and NFL agree to a deal
 

Not sure if TWC is prominent in the KC area but I thought I'd post this anyway.

Finally. now let's get it on before next week's game.

Cool... don't really blame TWC for not being part of the NFL's money grab until they started airing games each week, but they have a pretty good lineup this season and it'll be nice not to rely on flaky internet streams.

Read that both the NFL network and Redzone channel will be available this Sunday.

I'm pumped, this was long overdue.

Could we be so lucky as to recieve a free preview for the weekend?

Still think they should of held out until Sunday ticket also became available. Is it in the sports tier or normal tier.

It is mindboggeling, nfl: fans want/need this. Twc: they want Sunday ticket too. No, you pay us a shit ton of money for the crap channel that is only worth a damn 17weeks a year, but don't charge your customers for it on a higher tier.

Twc: what about Sunday ticket? Nfl: we will let you know when the contract is up, but no.

Nfl would make 10x what they do now with allowing that.

NFL network is in the normal tier.

Redzone is in the sports tier.

I'm hoping for some free offer too. I heard from a friend that fios had free redzone for the first year.

I have a buddy who works for twc so I'll probably find out all the details soon.

I completely glossed over the Red Zone channel... that's awesome. Looks like it would be a great way to keep up with the games as long as there aren't an insane number of commercials.

7 hours commercial free.

Those of you who haven't had it are quickly going to realize that you haven't been missing that much.

My buddy got back to me.

Redzone will be a part of the sports pass which is $5.95 per month. Not sure what other channels are currently on the sports pass but redzone will now be part of that package.

No promos that he knows of.

Hmmm...I'm chatting with TWC about this now, and this is the response I just now got...

"There are a number of reports today about Time Warner Cable reaching an agreement with NFL Network. As of this time, negotiations continue; but there is no final agreement yet."

:drool:


I already have the sports tier for hockey... it includes 3 FSNs, NHLN, MLBN, NBA TV, CBS Sports, NBC Sports (aka Versus), Yes, NESN, ESPN Classic, ESPNU, Big 10 Network... and a few others (a few of those like ESPNU might be standard :shrug: ).

Red zone is for a different type of fan.

Just seeing the games inside the 20 just doesn't do it for me.

Then again....I guess if i couldn't have Sunday Ticket i might consider it....

They do end up showing more than just inside the 20s. There are lots of times when there isn’t action inside the 20s during the games, so they are forced to show outside the 20s game action.

Yeah, I'd rather have Sunday Ticket and could get it through my PS3, but don't want to pay for it since I spend a lot of time watching CFB on Saturdays. So, between Chiefs/AFCW games with 90 minutes of commercials each and hours of commercial free action, RZ sounds awesome.

It's about time. So when can I watch a Thursday night game?

How much does the sports tier add to your cable bill per month?

Other than the games, I never turn the nfl network on. The programming is exceedingly boring

That is my go to station as soon as the tv is on if there are no live games.
I love NFL films especially the Stram years.
Hard to believe but at one time we had a good O and a good D ....at the same time!!!!
Montana's short stint is the only thing since that has come close.

I love the Red Zone channel. It is the only thing DISH has that DIRECTV doesn't. I really miss having that now that my Sunday Ticket free trial is over.

Better than ESPN

Turn in your Man card.

It's official.

$5/month... well worth it for CFB and hockey. Last year I got a lot of WCHA games on the extra Fox Sports channels (mostly North Dakota and Minnesota) plus whatever was on CBS/NBC Sports.

Just wait till the factor this into their pricing...

It's about damn time. Finally I get these channels :)

DTV has it, but only as part of the sunday ticket.

Im not crazy about red zone. I thought it would be great to have on a 2nd TV, but it ends up being a few seconds faster than the Chiefs game, so its annoying when they switch over to that - you see it out of the corner of your eye before you experience it with sound.

Hallelujah!

Yeah, I know. That really doesn't make sense to me. It seems like the channel should be designed for people who DON'T have Sunday Ticket.

I did not know about the hockey channels (just never paid attention to what channels we weren't signed up for). Thanks for the info, will call add it tomorrow. Extra hockey and NFL Network, can't beat it.

Both channels are already on air.

NFL Network 346/1346
NFL Redzone 347/1347

about ****ing time

**** yes.

TW is the only goddamn provider I can get at my complex. And they eat a hot bag of hog dicks. But this will make it a little better.

Channel 1346 on TW.

w00t, just in time to see the Bills/Spiller get showcased with Chiefs highlights.

**** TIME WARNER
