Why the hell are companies going to want to pay for and carry stations that no one is going to watch? Just to bring subscription costs up?
That's just the way the cable deals works. Atlanta probably has a good # of Ohio State, Michigan, MSU fans etc that will demand the B1G network. It gets bundled with a sports package, they get $.50 or a $1.00 a sub.

With as bad as the economy is right now, and how technology is leading us to an on-demand centered television system (Netflix, hulu, ect.) some time in the next 10-20 years, I still don't believe there's enough economic justification for companies in ATL to pay for BTN coverage
