Time Warner Cable and the NFL
On this page from the Time Warner website, it says:
Hm, didn't I hear something about how the FCC had to get involved and force Time Warner to carry the NFL Network for one month on the regions that they acquired in the summer from Adelphia and Comcast? Yes, those regions had the NFL Network, but when TWC took over they dropped the NFL Network immediately, which is a violation of federal law. The law however only required that they give the consumer a one month notification that a network would be dropped, and so TWC gave them the one month and then dropped it. Those of us who have been served by TMC for a while have never had the NFL Network.
When the NFL Network is showing practice scrimages, not having it is not so much of a problem. However, starting Thanksgiving night, the NFL Network will start showing real games. Since TMC started a website entirely devoted to defending their actions in their dispute with the NFL Network and called it www.nflgetreal.com, it seems pretty clear to me that TMC is in the wrong, especially compared to this page which provides the NFL Network's response.
We know you love football-which is why, as a Time Warner Cable customer, you’ll enjoy a ton of NFL games this season, many available in High Definition. That includes every single one of your home-team games, whether played at home or away, as
well as many other NFL games.
