I'm also a cablevision customer. The last I heard they are not in negotations with them as cablevision passed or something like that and will talk with them at a later date. That means...idk...another few years.
Its a good channel but the way they handled the providers was a disgrace to all American and Canadian football fans. They even blocked me from their facebook page(and dozens others) for asking too many questions and complaining.
Their communication is a joke....Good thing I have rai to watch serie a on.

I'm actually a Verizon customer, but my friends and family all have Cablevision. So I am hoping Verizon gets the deal moving with this arab oil money channel.

They bought the one thing that US fans couldn't go without (US World Cup qualifiers that the US plays in other countries) knowing full well that it would be a huge stretch to get on all the major providers by the time WCQs come around. Low and behold, this greedy, asshole channel is not on two of the top ~5 biggest providers in the country, Cablevision and Verizon. They could have bought rights to soccer in plenty of leagues to just be an attractive option for providers to pick up. They didn't have to get something so important to american soccer fans as American WCQs (played in other countries) knowing they would invariably screw many people over for the first few (or more) WCQs. BEin sports can go f*ck itself.

What are you talking about? Channels like ESPN and NBC sports could have bought the rights to the US road qualifiers months ago. They didn't and instead the rights were sold to Traffic Sports. If you're unaware of Traffic Sports, this is the company that put the previous round of road qualifiers on PPV. BeIn swooped in and bought the rights off of Traffic Sports as part of their launch package in the US. This means we're getting a much higher quality production for games that won't be broadcasted on PPV for an exuberant sum.
You can be pissed at ESPN and NBC Sports for not putting in a more serious bid originally. You can be pissed at Verizon and Cablevision for not picking up BeIn but your hate for BeIn is misguided.

Yeah, I watched a few of the PPV games and the quality was awful. I think BeIn does a good job. I was very happy to see Dish Networks carried BeIn.
