[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 956426, member: 2426"] ATL TV viewers don't matter (at least as a regional base), but ATL TV households would matter to the Big10 Network and it does matter to the ACCN. If a team had 5 million regular viewers, it wouldn't matter where they are located. The importance of the market area is dwindling as TV subscriptions go down, but it is still a lot of money. Estimates from several years ago estimate the difference to SECN, ACCN, and Big10 Network to be about $1 per subscriber for every subscriber in a market with a conference team vs in a market without a conference team. So, Big10 network would get an additional $1 per month for every Cable/Sat/streaming broadcast service subscriber in the Atlanta market, and probably the entire state of GA if GT were in the Big10. That is before any viewers actually watch any games involving GT. I don't know how many linear TV subscribers there are in GA, but that could be $3-5 million per month currently. Not enough to make up $100 million per year in revenue, but a decent start. I do understand that subscriptions to linear TV is going down. However, it still is important to the conference money calculations and it will be for at least several more years. Twenty years from now, it probably won't make any difference. Three years from now it still will. Where that cutoff is is not clear to me. [/QUOTE]
