Of particular note is this:

Under the deal, the CBS Sports Network, a 24-hour sports channel, will be available on a broader FiOS tier reaching more subscribers.

FiOS and Time Warner overlap in many markets. Eventually, customers will flip.

How close do you think CBSSN is to being Nielsen-rated? Estimates I've seen recently have it in 48-50 million households.
