The only really good way to lock up content is to own it outright. Comcast failed to purchase Disney, which owns ESPN, which is the only truly must-have channel in the world IMO. So they settled for NBC, which is still must-have for some portion of consumers I suppose. I maintain that if consumers can get their sports programming outside of a bundle, then the bundles will all fall apart. So, watch the NFL, MLB, NCAA, PGA and NBA closely. When they break from the bundles, the end will be near for the bundle rip-off. The cable companies’ strategy is to somehow lock up must-have content to preserve the value in their bundles.
