The Evening BRIDGE:
Speaking at a media conference today, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts said the cable
company has no intention of paying cash for retransmission rights of Sinclair's broad-
cast television signals. The exec said Comcast would rather work out a "co-op" deal
that would keep it from raising consumer prices. An agreement that allows Comcast
to air Sinclair-owned stations for free expires March 10, five days before the highly-
watched, CBS-carried NCAA Men's National Basketball Championship tournament.www.mediabizcorp.com - used with permission
