Are you football fan upset over not receiving the NFL Network? The American Cable Association wants to help you get your voice to be heard. They have created a new Web site to encourage cable subscribers to demand "Sports Choice Now" from the NFL Network.
The site isn't shy about it's opinion, either:
Cable companies want to carry the NFL Network on their cable systems and be fair to all of their customers???those who are football fans and those who are not. Therefore, the price must be fair for the value of the NFL Network.
Cable companies would like to include the NFL Network in a sports package or sports tier???this would allow all cable customers to get the NFL Network if they wanted to without requiring all customers to pay for this expensive programming. We think that is fair for sports fans and for those who are not.
The site includes a link for consumers to tell Congress that they would like to receive the NFL Network on a tier or if they are not a sports fan and do not want to be required to pay extra for the channel. You will also find video, a myths vs. facts information page and current press clips that detail criticism of the network.
If you are interested in learning more about The American Cable Association's opinion on the matter or you would like Congress to know how you feel, visit out www.sportschoicenow.org. If you want to hear the other side of the story, check out I Want NFL Network, a site run by, you guessed it, the NFL Network. And finally, if you can't wait for your cable provider to make the channel available, consider switching to DIRECTV or DISH Network satellite TV service. Both providers include the NFL Network as part of the standard programming packages.
