NFL Escalates Comcast Fight With Beefed-Up Washington Lobbying By Todd Shields and Jonathan D. Salant
Feb. 19 (Bloomberg) -- The National Football League season is over on the field. In Washington, it’s just heating up. This contest pits the NFL against Comcast Corp., the nation’s biggest cable television company. At stake is the success of the NFL Network, the league’s cable channel. More than five years after it started, the channel still lacks national distribution. The NFL blames Comcast, and has stepped up its game in Washington, asking the government to help it get more of the company’s 24.2 million subscribers. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601074&sid=adWEo97apTmE&refer=politics --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
