perhaps they are not getting enough from advertising revenue to support replacing programming on sister networks with games between teams with lower viewership. That's disappointing, but given the overall quality of the product they provide, I guess i'll take the trade-off over the alternative (Fox, Turner, or lower quality product given less investment).

Or maybe they're just making a blatant revenue grab.

Admittedly, Arsenal is usually going to be on TV, so that colors the view slightly

I agree. And I pay for the gold package.
