Update on the NFL Network-Comcast story

The Friday May 1 column I wrote in the Register was an early-run preprint, so this Thursday afternoon update did not make it. Comcast now says:


“Comcast and the NFL are engaged in productive discussions toward a new agreement for NFL Network carriage on Comcast. NFL Network will continue to be carried on Comcast systems past tonight’s scheduled expiration of the current contract while both sides continue these productive discussions. We are both working to find a solution that works for NFL fans and Comcast’s customers.”
