Time Warner Cable and the NFL Network have made substantial progress in their month-old negotiations and could be heading toward an agreement that will bring the football channel’s full slate of eight games to the TV sets of their 12.1 million subscribers, according to Claire Atkinson of the New York Post. In an important move, the cable company has dropped its stance that the NFL Network be placed on a separate, extra fee, sports tier, one source familiar with the talks said. Now, TWC is ready to put the eight-year old network on a basic, digital tier that will cost sports fans no more than the $78.99 a month they already pay, the source added. Source: The Redzone
