NFL Network draws a big yawn
This earlier post noted that the dispute between the fledgling NFL Network and various cable companies has kept the network off of most the nation's homes that are wired for cable or satellite television.
Now, this NY Times article indicates that the inability to see the NFL Network's first game on Thanksgiving Day evening was met with a huge collective yawn by viewers.
As noted in the earlier post, the Los Angeles area gets along just fine without its own NFL team. This WSJ ($) article notes that that there is a buyer's market for advertising time to this year's Super Bowl. There is no need for regulatory action in regard to the NFL Network's petulant stance with the cable companies. Just let the markets give the NFL owners the message that there are other things to do on weekends and holidays than watch NFL games.
