I have not heard anything promising (that was credible) on Time Warner.Yes. Call your local sports bar/restaurant if you want confirmation.
At this point, the only major player that might reach a deal is the Dish network. They are direct competitors of Directv and need every single channel they can obtain. Don't expect Time Warner to sign up the BTN anytime soon.
As I have previously stated in this thread, Comcast is one of the worst companies on the planet. I'm not talking about just the cable industry. They have been exposed in another scam. They hired a public relations firm in Lansing Michigan, Martin Waymire Advocacy Communications to bash the Big Ten Network on message boards and get favorable articles in newspapers.
I have no problem with a company getting their message out, but hiring a public relations firm, who in turn poses as students on message boards is sad, indeed. These are tactics usually reserved for those dirty political races we all hate. If you click on "Our Services" on the Waymire website, it states they have many contacts at newspapers. So I'm sure this PR firm is responsible, in part, for the many anti-BTN articles we see everyday. I'm sure that this PR firm in Michigan isn't the ony company hired by Comcast in the 8 state region of the Big Ten Network to promote a negative campaign.
Comcast routinely sues it's business partners at the drop of a hat to gain any contractual advantage they can, but this is the absolute rock bottom Comcast Posing as Big Ten Fans in Anti-BTN Astroturfing Campaign - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates
