Coverage Dispute Regarding Sunday's Jets Game: Woody Johnson Speaks With Cablevision

PrintJets fans in the tri-state area who are Cablevision customers are not happy at the moment. Because of the impasse between Cablevision and Fox, Sunday's game is in jeopardy of being blacked out for those with Cablevision. The reason being, because the Jets play an NFC team and FOX is in charge of coverage.
According to Rich Cimini, Jets' owner Woody Johnson reportedly spoke with Cablevision and issued the following statement.
"Today, I spoke with Cablevision and News Corporation about the importance of broadcasting our game this Sunday," Johnson said in a statement that was released to the Jets' official web site. "Both companies acknowledged the passion of our fans and their desire to watch the game. If a resolution cannot be reached, I hope that they can set aside their differences to air our game against the Packers."
Not looking good, though. Our recommendation would be to go to a sports bar to watch the game for those that are Cablevision customers.

Good to see
that the Dolans are still penny pinching and pointing fingers. Keep it up guys, you’re doing great at dashing the dreams of Jet fans over and over again.
Directv is so awesome
Screw the damn Dolans. They ruined the Knicks, ruined the Rangers and helped screw the Jets way back when.
Well...
I’ve got Time Warner… I’m Green.
GANG GREEN ALL DAY!
I put God first! Anything else comes a distant second, next to a cross-country third.
Being that I'm Nigerian, being a Jets' Fan only comes natural... it's all about that old Green and White.
You see, it's not about how you won the game, it's about how you played the game.... there's a difference. If you don't understand this, then you're losing big time.
Actually cablevision aren't the bad guys this time
Fox is asking for too much money, if they weren’t then they would go to arbitration like the dolans want to. Cablevision offered a one year deal at fox’s price and fox rejected it. cablevision is offering to credit customers accounts the $10 it costs to watch the world series online. The dolans have done plenty wrong in the past but in this case you have to direct your anger towards Fox/NewsCorp.
Well said
All these people listing alternative providers need to realize they are bound to experience the same thing, and if not with Fox, then someone else. You ever wonder why the ads that tell you to sign up with an alternative provider never tell you to sign up with Dish network? They too are ankle deep in Fox’ drastic rate increase, and are about to lose Fox programming.
Essentially the broadcasters who use the public airwaves, and receive ad revenue are losing those ad dollars. In an effort to make up the loss, they are reaching directly for YOUR wallet.
Turn it personal and you miss the point. Other providers have gone through this, but none have dug in, most cave in.
