You don't have to look high (or low) to find a litany of complaints regarding Time Warner Cable's service, support or pricing, but it's evidently aiming to right one particular wrong later today. According to Bloomberg, the National Football League has inked a deal with TWC to bring the NFL Network and RedZone Channel to its systems. The move comes just months after the NFL ushered its networks onto rival Cablevision, putting TWC is a particular bind in the greater NYC market. It's still unclear where the channels will be positioned and how much extra you'll have to pony up to get 'em, but hey -- it's cheaper than moving to a FiOS neighborhood. (Though, admittedly, less satisfying.)
Update: Both parties have confirmed it, NFL Network and NFL RedZone Channel are coming to Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks starting September 23rd. NFL Network will be included for customers on the Digital Basic and Sports Pass tiers, while NFL RedZone is on the Sports Pass package only, check the press release after the break for the relevant details and self-congratulatory affirmations.

Bloomberg, NFL, TW Cable Untangled | Email this | Comments
When I saw that TWC came to a deal with the NFL, I ran around my house screaming like a crazed Green Bay after that blown call Monday night, except mine was in joy. You see none of my neighbors who subscribe to TWC will invade my living room for Thursday night football because they will FINALLY get to watch it from their own house. I think I’m going to go over to their house and hoop and holler all night, I hope they have beer and food. I’ve been enjoying both channels the last couple of years, especially Redzone. It comes in handy for watching my fantasy football players, and I never miss a play from across the league. It has gotten even better using the Picture in Picture feature that a coworker at DISH told me about in my new Hopper, now I can watch a game and the Redzone at the same time on half screens so I don’t have to keep jumping back and forth between channels.
