If who were really smart? Its still owned by Comcast, for all we know comcast could be happy with having VS on a higher tier because that is more subscription money they make. They have probably found about the right price to charge for the channel to make the most money. More homes does not mean more money. Comcast has also lost a lot of power in negotiating new contracts because of the limits the government placed on them for becoming too big and having too much power.
No. It's not gonna work like that. Sure Comcast "owns" it, but it's becoming part of the NBC package (CNBC, MSNBC, USA, Bravo, SyFy, etc.). It's going to be packaged along with it. They want to be in as many homes as they can be, because that's what's going to allow them to take a run at ESPN in the future. More homes = more ad revenue.
