*Yawn* I wonder if they Discussed ESPN-HD also?

[DCSholtis]

CRAP!!! I thought we would be rid of that nothing channel.....Though I did find the last line strange about them not disclosing other networks involved in the deal......might mean ESPNHD

[Scott Greczkowski]

Hey nice flag. :)

I hope that the East Coast feed of Soap Net is included!

[AJ2086]

I might have my wish!

A source familiar with the situation said that, beside ABC Family, the agreement also covered the SoapNet channel, DirecTV's rights to rebroadcast local ABC affiliates and some issues related to pay-per-view programming.

More price increases to be expected in the future on more of a regular basis.
