MLW’s Network Taken Off Verizon and Comcast

BeIN Sports, which just started carrying Major League Wrestling’s weekly TV show, has been taken off of Comcast and Verizon Fios because of a financial dispute.

Verizon put up a message in the channel’s place claiming that BeIN Sports wanted too much money.

beIN Sports responded with this message:

beIN SPORTS USA learned late last night that despite its offer to extend its contract with Verizon on the same rates and terms, Verizon chose to abruptly cease negotiations and drop the beIN SPORTS channels from its platform. Verizon falsely claims that beIN sought “significant” rate increases. In fact, beIN offered to continue under the same modest fee increase structure it established when it launched in 2012. Verizon, conversely, sought to re-package beIN to higher more expensive tiers where customers have to pay more for the content they love. beIN will not allow Verizon to use its content in this manner and will continue its fight to achieve carriage in lower priced tiers on behalf of consumers and content partners” said Antonio Briceño, beIN SPORTS’ Deputy Managing Director for the U.S. and Canada.
