[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 749572, member: 2426"] It is because of money. YTTV and the owner of the regional networks have not been able to reach a deal on how much to pay for those channels. The details of negotiations and contacts are usually kept confidential. They often argue over: Price, How many customers get the channel and have to pay(for instance whether it can be in a sports package or everyone has to get it, carrier advertising time on the channel, and others. Cost per subscriber is pretty easy to understand. Channels often want every subscriber to have their channel included, whether the customer wants it or not. For instance, rumors were that ESPN required that the SEC network be carried nationwide and people in areas not in SEC territory had to pay $0.30-$0.40 while people inside the territory have to pay about $1.25. That is a lot of money for subscribers outside the area, most of which don't care if they have the SEC network or not. I haven't heard any rumors about whether this dispute is purely about cost, or whether YTTV would like to move those channels to a sports package to keep costs for non-sports subscribers down. I wouldn't be surprised about either. [/QUOTE]
