Report: NFL finally reaches deal with Time Warner CableSeptember 21, 2012, 11:06 AM EDT The NFL has apparently reached a deal to end a longer-running impasse than the one with its officials. According to Scott Soshnick of Bloomberg, the league has reached an agreement with Time Warner Cable to carry the NFL Network and Red Zone Channel. Time Warner has about 12 million subscribers, and was the last major cable carrier without a deal with the NFL. The league was careful to point out the lack of Time Warner’s presence when it signed a deal with Cablevision, noting it was the only one of the top nine carriers without the channel. It’s a huge get for fans in New York City, as well as smaller markets such as Charlotte which were locked in with TWC. Of course, at least one customer in Charlotte (Gruden thumbs, this guy) got tired of waiting and switched.

I'm guessing it will be part of some big 'Sports' package.

It is part of the basic package from what I read.
The RedZone channel is part of the Sports Tier.

Checked my guide today. Nothing yet!
Can't find any word on when its supposed to debut.
Am I the only one that pronounces hyperbole "Hyper-bowl" instead of "hy-per-bo-le"?

When I'm on the iPhone app there is a channel 310 and 1310 that just says sign off, no call letters, no channel info. I'm wondering if it will be these channels.

Glad to hear for you TWC subscribers that you get NFLN and Red Zone.
NFLN is a must for the Thurs games, but outside of that, meh..
Red Zone? It's the greatest thing ever. I turn it on when the Browns are not playing or are in commercial. It runs constant, whatever is hot during game day, they take you there. If you're a fantasy or gambler, it's awesome.

This is good. I avoided TWC for years because of this. When I moved to Germany, I picked it up in the states becasue they had the fastest upload speed in Columbus for better viewing of my slingbox.

I'm getting NFL network right now (Columbus). I just added the Sports package for 6 bucks a month to get the redzone channel. can't wait to drop that back off when the season ends.

I never considered the sports package before but bought it in a heartbeat with red zone added to it.
ESPN goal line doesn't look too bad, will probably check it out for awhile once the OSU game ends.

Out of curiousity, what else do you get with the "sports tier"? I've never had this Red Zone that everyone seems to describe as the best thing ever so it doesn't really bother me that I don't have it... but 6 bucks a month, when added on to the ridiculous amount I'm already spending on Time Warner, is nothing.
btw - 1346 is working here too. I figured it was coming soon due to my cable running at a snails pace for the last day (it seems to do that when a channel is added).

I think that's the one that has a bunch of the ESPN channels, MLB channel, NBAtv, NHL, CBS Sports, NBC Sports, Speed, G4, etc etc. I could be wrong though. I used to have a link to their channel guide but it doesn't seem to be working any longer.

It's a sports tier, so pretty much any sports channel not available now, will be.
Speed channel is going away (gee, thanks fox sports), to be replaced by a mostly MLB fox run channel. Motorsports (stuff from on Speed.) will mostly be moved to Fuel, which is currently a lot of UFC and boxing. But, that sports tier will get Fuel added. Having my husband call TWC soon to find out what else we'd get. He's the one that would want Fuel. I'd like to have Red Zone. But if I don't have it, I won't care.
If hubs calls soon, I'll let you know what's included.

No there isn't anything on it during the week, it's just Sunday from 1 pm until about 7:30 when the 4 pm games usually end.
Then they show a montage of every touchdown scored on the day. Which is awesome, no need to subject myself to an hour of crappy football shows like Football Night in America.
If you're really into fantasy football then red zone is something you must have. If you're not into fantasy football then it's something you probably wont miss very much.
