Re: the C's new TV contract

I don't think a station has to "go on satellite" for us to get it via
Direct TV.  I doubt channel 68 had a satellite linkup.  Direct TV
takes feeds from whatever stations it wants, and sends them via
satellite to its subscribers.  I don't think you'll miss any home games.
