Yeah, there is no way this is sustainable. I give it 5 years before this all comes crashing down. Way too much of this money is coming from charging carriage fees to customers who don't even watch these channels, and instead of enjoying the good thing they have, the networks keep pushing for higher rates. I give it 5 years. Cord cutters or the fcc will force a la carte cable or Internet delivery. I wonder if these contracts have clauses in them that void them if cable goes a la carte.
It is why I am hoping for just a modest increase in tv rights for the Nats. A bunch of teams are going to fall hard when this free ride is over.
