When this topic used to come up, Terry would make fun of YES and how shitty it is outside of Yankee games, that it's just documentaries on Thurman Munson replayed a hundred times or some guy trying to sell you Mickey Mantle's ass hair, his point being that this is the most decorated sports franchise in America and even they struggle to program an entire cable channel of their own. (They have Nets games in the winter, but I rank them below the collectible home-shopping shows with the ass hair.) God only knows what the Mets' channel airs the rest of the year. UConn/'Cuse games, I guess maybe.

That Chicago only has one RSN while others have more isn't a bug, it's a feature. I'm glad we don't have that public-access MASN bullshit channel like the DMV does, or the utter clusterfuck L.A. has with the Dodgers' channel. I think it's great that about 25% of our teams' games are over the air (though I could do without the channel 50 sub-package) and not burdening cable subscribers with more and more carriage fees at a time when people are ready for massive change in how we consume pay TV. Fuck your revenue streams.
