CSN filed bankruptcy a few months back, but jim crane and the astros are moving to block that as they feel it is a move to remove their veto power or something like that. It is currently going through the court system whether CSN can go bankrupt or not. Until then, no real negotiations will happen. The Astros want a top deal made to cover the 5 state region as baseball teams make a large percentage of income through individual tv deals, while the rockets just want to be on in Houston and are willing to take any deal to make that happen. Even if deals get made, you would need either your local cable provider, directv, or dish to pick it up. The astros and rangers will never be on the extra innings package or mlb.tv in College Station as any local team in prohibited from coming on that package as mlb wants to protect the regional broadcast rights.
