NFL Network-Comcast Standoff Enters Third Month

The ongoing dispute between NFL Network and Comcast Xfinity, now entering its third month, shows no signs of resolution. Xfinity subscribers have been unable to access NFL Network since May, with no indication the blackout will end before the regular season begins.

The lack of outcry from NFL fans during the offseason suggests limited demand for NFL Network's off-season programming. However, there will definitely be an outcry if the standoff continues into Week One, as Xfinity subscribers would miss out on the popular NFL RedZone Channel. ESPN, which now operates NFL Network, and Xfinity blame each other for the impasse, with Disney accusing Xfinity of removing the channel during negotiations. michezonews.co.za
