Yeah, apparently the company that owns the network wanted a lot more money from the cable company. The negotiations have been going on for awhile now and last night was the deadline. Now the cable company is giving out antennaes so anyone who has the cable company can receive the network.
It reminds me of when Fox first came on the air. My family didn't have cable yet so we had to get an extra antenna that was round. The network wasn't always easy to receive and we couldn't record the channel on a VCR. Once we got cable we could record the channel and it was far more reliable.
I'm really surprised considering all the sports the network carries.
