• NFL Network Comcast

  In 2006, cable company Comcast dropped the NFL Network from its digital package. The move was in response to the NFL rejecting a $400 million offer from the cable giant to broadcast eight games on the Comcast-owned Versus Network. The NFL claimed that Comcast did not have the right to demote the NFL Network. On May 19, 2009, a deal was iron-out by the two entities in which the NFL Network became part of Comcast’s Digital Classic tier.The New York Times: Comcast Reaches Deal on NFL Network (May 19, 2009)
