As this was stated before, distribution has been the biggest obstacle facing every aspect of the network. From new shows, better coverage and right down to employee salaries. As an employee there and football fan, I believe wholeheartedly in the network and would love to see it the success it will no doubt become soon.]]>May 3rd 2008 9:24PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/May 4th 2008 3:49PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/
A lot of people don't realize the pieces it takes to put a successful network together and while it's very easy to criticize, a lot of planning needs to go into everything we do. A lot of it is just a learning process. Anyone you speak to who helped start ESPN can tell you the same thing. ESPN is a force almost 30 years in the making. Their switch to digital was likely much easier being it was a network well established once it decided to do so.

Right now our main priorities are settling our distribution deals, making sure that every cable carrier carries our network which as many of you have been following, have not exactly been favoring the NFL Network. But if you are a fan of the network, take comfort in knowing that everything is being done to settle this as quickly as possible and that the right people are now in place to make this happen. Many of which are former executives from ESPN and who have helped make that network the success that it is.]]>May 5th 2008 12:14AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/May 5th 2008 4:24AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/]]>May 2nd 2008 8:57PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/May 2nd 2008 10:43PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/May 3rd 2008 1:57AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/
"It's no secret: the NFL Network isn't in nearly as many homes as the league had hoped when it launched in 2003. As it stands, the channel has only wiggled into 10 million abodes, whereas the NFL was estimating 32 million."

Directv and Dish both provide NFL N in normal packages. DTV has 16 million subscribers. Dish is behind that number but not by much - about 14 million. Cox Cable in San Diego provides NFL N too . Cox has the NFL N in other markets.

I see 30 million just with Dish/Directv. ]]>May 3rd 2008 2:02AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/May 3rd 2008 2:03AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/May 3rd 2008 3:18AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/02/commissioner-insists-that-nfl-network-will-be-a-success/
Make Sunday Ticket available on cable and I might listen to your crying about NFL N. Until then, piss off.]]>May 3rd 2008 8:19PM
