NFL Comcast Agree on deal, comcast adding espnu as well

from DCRTV.com-
The Wall Street Journal
reports that the NFL Network and area cable TV giant Comcast have
settled their long-running dispute over carriage of the NFL Network.
Comcast will pay a monthly fee of about 45-cents for each of the
roughly 10 million “Digital Classic” subscribers among Comcast’s
roughly 24 million customers. The NFL had accused Comcast of
discriminating against it while giving favorable treatment to
programming owned by the major cable companies, including Comcast’s own
sports networks. Comcast responded that the NFL Network didn’t appeal
to a broad enough segment of its subscribers to justify a high fee or
carriage on its widely-viewed expanded basic tier…..

In addition to today’s deal between Comcast and the NFL, Jim Williams in the Examiner
tells us that Comcast has reached agreement with ESPN to provide
digital cable sports tier access to ESPNU, a college sports channel,
and ESPN 360, a broadband sports service…..

My thoughts-well ITS ABOUT TIME, just sucks we have to wait till aug 1 for nfl.
