For what it's worth, they wouldn't own the entire network. Comcast/NBC would still own part of it.
It might also be a sign that the negotitations were going nowhere with the other providers in regard to the Astros accepting their offer. The...
That is kind of disappointing. After 6 weeks, we have no new offer on the table. I would have been happier with Isgur tossing the thing out than...
Their media rights fees are greater than the Astros and should be a static number provided Crane doesn't bankrupt the station by holding out for...
Well, well. Jim Crane couldn't get it done overnight.

Astros 2014 ~ We're not going to blink. Well not unless we have to..
This whole situation is a Crane Wreck. We have wasted 6 weeks waiting on Crane to likely come back with an answer he says he already knew....
