I've been a Mets fan since 1962 and I'm outraged that my cable company Patmedia in New Jersey isn't going to carry SNY. I called my cable company to ask why and they told me that Wilpon-Comcast were trying to hold them up for more money then YES gets. If they want that much money my cable company wants to charge on an individual basis of who wants the Mets and who doesn't but SNY wants to be on cable basic like YES. I know every cable company is a monopoly but this one sounds like any company that isn't Comcast or Time Warner may be getting a raw deal. That's why it is bad when Comcast-Time Warner a provider gets into the production end. They don't have long to end their dispute March 16th is coming fast. If you think about it it took the Yankee fans who have Cablevision a year to see there games if they didn't switch to satellite.

Good article here on the new Mets cable Network
http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/co...p-332602c.html
Wilpons partners in SNNY are TimeWarner and Comcast, so if you have those two cable companies your set, i'm sure the station will be available on satellite as well.
"While YES came on the market looking for cable operators to pay about $2.25 per month per subscriber, SNY's asking price appears to be in the $1.60-$1.75 range."
That should make it a little easier for Dolan to consider adding the channel to his lineup. I just hope that everyone in the greater NY and NJ area's will be able to watch the Mets.Last edited by SeaverGooden; 02-18-2006, 09:34 AM.14 37 41

So far there is NO agreement between Cablevision and the 2 dish networks with SNY along with a bunch of small cable companies. There is no safety net like Yankee fans had, plus you have 2 cable providers dealing with there competitors here. I hope they agree but it looks like bad news for alot of us.Lets support Gil Hodges for The Hall of Fame, a true Hall of Famer.

Originally posted by kramer_47I'm with a smaller cable company, I know the president, smaller companies do pay more and SNY wants more then YES gets from them. You can't always believe what you read in the papers either.The negotiations are still on going and there's hope. It's just horrible that the little guy like us gets screwed all the time.

Originally posted by Toy BoatWell if that's true than shame on the Mets, but I still find it hard to believe that they would ask for more than what YES got. btw, I came across this petition urging Patriot Media to carry SNY. Not sure how much good it would do to sign, but it couldn't hurt.
