Living in Aberdeen, South Dakota and still attached to the cord there are two players in the cable market here (Midco & NVC) one of which I have. Both companies like Xfinity patrons on this site have little info and basically are in the dark too. If negotiations are happening the least they could do is pass on that tidbit. The customer service reps who take calls on the subject usually are not even aware of the situation which is looming. It would be nice if the response was "MLB and our executives are trying to hammer out a deal - stay tuned" instead of "duh, I dont know what your talking about"
