Perhaps you would be better off if you didn't base your life on professional sports teams.

I don't understand why people care about professional athletes. You can be certain they don't care about you.

It's more than that.
I do not like the misleading propoganda that because we live in CT, we should care more about what happens in New England and Boston even though we have more economic and social ties to New York and the tri state region.

Cancelling New York channels for Boston channels, the media, is a vital tactic and should be challenged.

Not meaning to be rude, but if you don't like it, move to New York.

No...because Boston should not have a stranglehold on CT's media resources.
I don't think it's right for me and the general public that they get this misguided propoganda.

There is no reason Connecticut should lean towards New York City either. After all Connecticut is a seperate State, last I checked people didn't have a NY or MA mailing address.

You really need to give up this issue you are having.

So if we don't have MA mailing addresses why is it we get stuck with NESN and not MSG or SNY?

CT does not have a pro sports team, a major city....we are sandwiched between NY and Boston and should have as good if not better media access, coverage to NY.
I won't rest until this Boston bias is put to rest.

I think you should carefully consider the advice William Shatner offered to the Trekkies on SNL some years ago.

My husband has spoken with Comcast several times about this. They have no plans to add SNY any time soon.

Tell them you'll go to dish...what's their problem.
We're CT...part of the NY tri state region AS WELL AS the NE region.
