I hope you're right (a link to your source would be good).

It would gve me one more HD football game a week.

Now if we could only get FOX-HD - NASCAR & Football. :up:

YA HEAR ME CHARLIE??? HD WEST NATIONALS ON 148 NOW, EAST ON 61.5 ASAP!!!

prices will be going up every year no matter what. it might go up a little bit more in 2006.

 

[rcbridge]

ESPN and ABC are both owned by Disney!!

 

[BFG]

It doesn't matter if they're owned by the same people, they both have seperate income structures

 

[Pablo_New]

They'll just pass the cost on the to the advertisers. I doubt cable/sat subcribers will feel much impact.

It doesn't matter so much that ESPN picked up MNF. Whenever the contract is up they ask for as much an increase as they're allowed. I think it's limited to a few percent every time.

I discovered today that ESPN is passing the Sunday night games to NBC when they get MNF in 2006.

No extra HD football for me - unless tunaboy somehow lives up to his promises, or I can afford to jump to a D* HD DVR.
