Mark Dayton isn't in the best position to do anything about Victory not
being picked up by local cable and dish companies, but maybe metro
cities can do something.
There must be something in their monopoly franchise contracts with each
city that says something about maintaining an "adequate" level of
service. Can an argument be made that not making available the
broadcast of local sports franchise(s) does not constitute an adequate
level of service?
Other than individual subscribers making a fuss, can anyone think of any
other leverage points?
Please hold your arguments about how much money Mr. Pohlad is going to
make. The issue is how to get the Twins' broacasts on television in the
metro area.
