I got the same email in Oklahoma.

 

[Santinelli]

Yup, got it here in NH as well....

i bet this is part of the fox and dish long time deal just wondering if yes network is also coming too.

So I guess as part of the new FOX deal, BTN is now a nationwide network like SEC is. So no more complaints from MD and NJ subs.

I'll still complain until they add SNY back. Could care less about YES as I am a Mets fan. So basically New York DMA people are to be placated with Rutgers sports. Um, OK.

Here is the text of the email I got....

I do not want this. I do not watch sports. At all, ever.
How about giving me something else ?

$hit in one hand, want in the other, see which one fills up the fastest. I don't like sports either, but it is nice for those who do.

This NY customer wants YES/MSG puhleez ...

 

[dare2be]

I guess because SEC network was able to bleed money from all nationwide subscribers, FOX wanted a piece of that action with BTN.

No Soup for you.

I think it's only in the NYC DMA because of Rutgers joining the Big Ten. If it was becoming a nationwide carriage network then they wouldn't bother just adding to one DMA at a time.

I do not need all those extra BS channels, Hey Dish can you lower are bills? because your prices are going sky -HI---

I got the e-mail here in Seattle as well. If true, I can cancel the multi-sport pack. BTN was the only reason we have it.

Does anyone know which package its in now for national coverage? I have the top 200.

Could be a reason but not sure why OK residents get it too.

Just noticed that I got the email too, here in Oklahoma, like ralfyguy.

it's a conspiracy, they're trying to lure OU into the Big Ten
