There are probably a ton of different things that influence the issue. Like you said, you only really hear about one at a time because of the contract dates, but I'd imagine there are frequently negotiations when contracts expire. There are sometimes issues not only with the actual rates being charged, but also with what types of packages the channels are carried on (basic, standard, premium, sports tier, etc.). I don't think this is the case (though I don't actually know FSN's ownership structure), but the Versus deal with DirecTV was a major issue because Versus is owned by DTV's biggest competitor - Comcast.

I'm just glad I don't live in that world. Everybody sucks.
