Wave claims it was impossible to reach the minimum required number of Sports Nets subscribers, as some of its TV customers downgraded to the basic channel package and opted for a streaming service. Wave says it typically offers two service tiers for video subscriptions: a lower-cost package that includes local broadcast channels, and an expanded content package that includes a variety of cable networks.Īccording to Wave, Comcast’s NBC Regional Sports Networks requires the company to sell a minimum number of expanded content subscriptions tied to the number of subscribers in its local broadcast service tier.Ĭomcast, however, has licensed its sports channels to a number of streaming sites, including Hulu, Sling TV, and fuboTV. TPG plans to combine Wave with RCN, which is already owned by the firm. Kirkland, Wash.-based Wave, which serves residential and business customers in California, Oregon, and Washington, is in the process of being acquired by private-equity firm TPG Capital in a deal worth $2.36 billion. Wave Broadband filed a claim with the Federal Communications Commission against Comcast Tuesday, alleging the cable operator is engaging in unfair business practices by forcing Wave to offer a single bundled premium sports TV channel package at a higher cost to customers.
