Where did TNT (138) channel go?

i think ESPN and the locals demand the most!!! while new contracts can be negotiated at a reasonable rates before a blackout.. the station use blackouts to demand more money out of broadcasters and us!!!

ESPN is to the point where it's making providers look bad in what they have to charge for basic packages. Last I knew it was like $4/month/sub just for that channel (+ maybe ESPN2, ESPNews, etc.) and then only if distributed to the bulk of subs. So you have the non-sports-consuming public (a majority) subsidizing the sports-addicted. It cries out for being booted from basic and offered only in a sports pack or alacarte. Then the public could see the true cost.

Yeah, it is closer to $10 or $11. When YouTubeTV lost ESPN as well as all the Disney channels, they offered a $20 refund. In essence half of that was ESPN.
