Jon Miller's BTN show gets canned

[Frak]

If I live out of state, how would I have watched the Iowa State - UNI game on tv?
How many people can get FCS?

Maybe you need to define "has been on the air".

Maybe YOU need to define what has "been on the air". I DVR'd every single game so far. That counts as far as I'm concerned. The earlier poster said that ISU struggles to get games on the air. I disagree. Is the BTN on basic cable in L.A. or NYC? I'm betting not.

Quick question. Since I think BTN comes standard with basic cable packages, how much cheaper would your cable bill be if BTN wasn't being carried?

I'm not sure on added or reduced costs, but if I could get rid the channel it would be kind of nice. Get rid of another useless channel cluttering up my guide.

CloneZone.

That must not be on my DirecTV guide. :wink:

The OP stated that he had watched all the games this year. You asked how someone would have seen the game out-of-state. He didn't specify where/how/PC/TV and I answered your question.

I know initially, the BTN was asking $1 per cable subscriber, per month. I don't know if that amount has changed, but it is safe to suggest that the cable companies passed that cost on.

Yes, I saw something similar...

Comcast has agreed to pay about 70 cents per subscriber to the Big Ten, which had sought $1.10. It's the first major cable operator to agree to carry the network.

(From an ESPN.com article)
Though, it is from 2008 and it deals specifically with Comcast.

Here is another set of numbers, from earlier this year (around expansion talks).

Currently, the channel receives between 50 to 70 cents per subscriber in areas that are in the conference's geographic footprint, which ranges over eight states. For subscribers outside that area, the rate drops to around 10 cents per subscriber.

The new Pulse tonight, with Tim Doyle (ex-NU bb), J Leman (ex-Illinois fb) and host Rick Pizzo was a huge improvement. Much more energetic.

I actually watched the first show and was going to tell Jon not to quit his day job, but I was too late.

I realize that. I was being a smartass.

Gosh...no kiddin'?! I was well aware you were being as ***. :dull:

Tiberius why have you bagged Jon so much in this thread? Aren't you always using his website, a service he provides for you at no cost?

I wonder if the people saying "Stay classy" also said the same about GMac as our coach, or Wayne Morgan, or DMac, or any of our assistant coaches, or VanDeVelde, or any government official...after all, it was their livelihood.

Is this the same guy that joined Chris two days ago? He had a show on that network?

Why are you digging through old Hawk threads and bumping them?

If you must know I saw the thread on John Miller, did a google search and found this thread. Better question, why do you care? Are you made because it was a rough night for your little Cubbies?... Ahhhhhh.

He's a Hawkeye fan trying way too hard. I think AmesHawk pegged him as a Hawk troll pretty early on and now he's trying to go the other way with it to cover it up.
