And to that point, the Canadian contracts will be up for negotiation and renewal too. Not only will the easy money up here probably exceed that in a year or two, but its a bargain for anyone who wants to sign up south of the border later.
It's a deal. But that's all it is. It's better than nothing. It's hardly a feather in the cap or anything that can be argued upon for success or popularity of franchises like Phoenix.

How in the world are you coming to such a conclusion as this one?
No idea what the Canadian deals have to do with this and I simply dont understand why it has anything to do with what you are trying to discuss. They are totally seperate things. Not comparable other than combining them all to show how much revenue is created from all TV sources.
And again...since you seem to have a grasp on this, what would a fair deal have been for both sides?
