Its the cable channel that airs 95% of NY Mets games and is the station for NY Jets shows, analysis, etc. It also broadcasts UConn womans basketball and a bunch of other stuff (CAA football).
I worked with Jonas for years at the station- nicest guy in the world. I hope he gets every cent he’s asking for.
