Maybe the difference is that the Yankees only matter to New York, as far as their regional network.
The
BTN has a larger footprint...has a relationship with ESPN...a relationship with Fox...
I think Comcast wants the
BTN on the higher tier so they can sell more sports subscriptions not because no one wants the network.
