"Expanded cable lines" - HAH ! You must work for the industry.
 
I, for one, can't get ESPN2 and not for lack of complaining.  Of course,
they have plenty of room for shopping channels.
 
If you had reviewed the numerous threads during the championship weeks, you
would have seen the great numbers of posts from fans asking how they could
see their teams on TV from Albany, etc.  Well, the most common solution was
- buy a DBS dish.
 
Now, I know someone has to originate the programming, and it is mostly the
regional sports networks (by the benevolence of the NC$$) who do so, but
how does it get to YOU in your home.  IMHO, it will only get worse before
it gets better.
