Where Can Lubbock Fans Cheer on the Cowboys?
This Thursday, the 10-1 Dallas Cowboys take on the 10-1 Green Bay Packers. But if you are a Suddenlink subscriber, you won't see it. The NFL Network will carry the game, and they have yet to reach an agreement with Suddenlink.
Such was the case last December, when Texas Tech played in the Insight Bowl. However, a last minute agreement, allowed Suddenlink subscribers to enjoy a free preview in order to watch the game.
The NFL Network was launched in November of 2003. It is carried on Dish Network, DirecTv, and many cable systems. But there are some who have failed to reach an agreement with the network.
For Suddenlink, the conflict lies within the marketing of the channel. Suddenlink wants to provide NFL Network as part of a sports package. But the network wants to be offered on basic cable.
