The American Cable Association, a consortium of small cable companies, say that non-sports fans are subsidizing the cost for sports fans and subscribers should be able to choose whether or not they want to pay for it on a monthly basis. TV providers say bundling packages keep prices lower for all viewers. Maybe there will come a day when TV subscribers can choose all their channels ala carte.<br /><br />I won’t be surprised when ESPN makes their on-line content a subscription service like Nascar.com does for Trackpass. Even though ESPN currently makes $5a month off every TV subscriber, they will want to increase rates (and revenue) to recoup their $15 billion investment. Nothing is free.NorCalFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373612307351787221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-69313310428374099922011-09-15T15:49:38.401-04:002011-09-15T15:49:38.401-04:00TNT's Wide Open Coverage needs to be expanded ...TNT's Wide Open Coverage needs to be expanded to Sears Point, since that's a track where a commercial could be a problem to knowing what's going on.<br /><br />This is great work by ESPN, now let's see how good the coverage is.Roadgeek Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06680361652819842398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-5537483036150981182011-09-15T08:36:59.387-04:002011-09-15T08:36:59.387-04:00Anyone think we'll ever hear from FOX, since i...Anyone think we'll ever hear from FOX, since it looks like their circus is being left behind.bobbydjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445262907429460664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-3329546061432972502011-09-15T01:54:42.067-04:002011-09-15T01:54:42.067-04:00@iworkhere:
