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.

Report: NFL finally reaches deal with Time Warner Cable

Posted by Darin Gantt on September 21, 2012, 11:06 AM EDT

The NFL has apparently reached a deal to end a longer-running impasse than the one with its officials.

According to Scott Soshnick of Bloomberg, the league has reached an agreement with Time Warner Cable to carry the NFL Network and Red Zone Channel.

Time Warner has about 12 million subscribers, and was the last major cable carrier without a deal with the NFL.

The league was careful to point out the lack of Time Warner’s presence when it signed a deal with Cablevision, noting it was the only one of the top nine carriers without the channel.

It’s a huge get for fans in New York City, as well as smaller markets such as Charlotte which were locked in with TWC. Of course, at least one customer in Charlotte (Gruden thumbs, this guy) got tired of waiting and switched.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

$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.
