Packers (Philadelphia) and Bears (Detroit) play today on Fox at 12:00 pm. Of course, if you Packer fans have Comcast, no game for you! Remember, as of October 16, the Madison station which showed Packer games was deleted from the Comcast channel line up in Freeport! The City of Freeport receives $375,000 in cable television taxes from Comcast.
Good Day Illinois reports from another state and city tonight where the NFL Channel is included. Soon Comcast will drop the Madison Channel so you will not get the Packer games. The City of Freeport does nothing since it has granted Comcast exclusive cable rights in Freeport. You pay big fees for Comcast and the City gets big franchise fees. No wonder the City does nothing. Anyway, good night from another state. Back to the game!
When the Packers and Bears play at the same time on FOX, you will not be able to watch the Packer game on the FOX Channel (WMSN) in Madison. The FOX Channel in Madison will be dropped by Comcast in Freeport as of October 16. Don’t worry Comcast will replace it. The rumor is they are adding a new channel devoted to Polo matches in Abu Dhabi – a sure hit. For more information on Polo in Abu Dhabi go to http://www.grpc.ae/
