Deal Keeps DirecTV Beaming

DirecTV is in the middle of an ownership mess but it appears that the company will retain exclusive rights to "NFL Sunday Ticket."

Two sources told The Times that, barring unforeseen roadblocks, there will be an announcement in the next couple of weeks on a new exclusive deal with DirecTV.

It will probably run through the 2005 season, after which the NFL's contracts with ABC, CBS, Fox and ESPN expire.

DirecTV's current exclusive "NFL Sunday Ticket" deal expires after this season....

It sounds like nothing is official yet. Still I think this is what most expected.

The Mets have introduced variable pricing. I guess we should have seen that coming.
