Jets and DirecTV take on Cablevision
Posted by Dominic Basulto
As New York Jets coach Herm Edwards said, "You play to win the game." And that's exactly what supporters of the new far West Side stadium are doing, by taking on Cablevision with a little help from the Jets. The New York Daily News reports that "the Jets have joined forces with DirecTV, the nation's fastest-growing satellite-TV service provider, in a phone campaign to get New Yorkers to drop Cablevision." What's great is that the Daily News apparently got their hands on the actual script being used by direct marketers to criticize Cablevision: "You know, you don't have to support a monopoly that doesn't support New York City. You have another television choice besides Cablevision. That choice is DirecTV."
