YES carries about 120 of the Yankees games this year, but couldn't work out an agreement with the major cable company until about a week or so before the beginning of the regular season. Apparently, satellite system subscriptions skyrocketed b/c people were worried, they wouldn't be able to get it on cable. I'm sure Dan would be able to provide more details if anybody cares.
Oh and speaking of the Yankees, tough night for Posada, huh? I'm sooooooo sad  Go Pedro!!

Huh? Me? Did someone mention the Yankees/Sox series this
weekend? Geeze, I've been soooo busy I just didn't catch
any of the games. Maybe Chuck will bring us up to date
on Sat & Sun games? Anyway...Cablevision wants about $30M
per year from YES to broadcast their content. Yes said no, so if you get Cablevision you don't get the Yankees. I get
Time-Warner, so I get Yes, but I was too busy to catch any
games this weekend, maybe Chuck will let me know what
happened?
BTW, Yes sucks. It's Yankee games, repeat of Yankee games,
Yankee classic games, repeats of Yankee classic games,
interviews of formet Yankees, repeats of interviews of former Yankees...
