The news article "NFL-DirecTV-Monopoly" discusses a legal challenge to an agreement between the National Football League (NFL) and DirecTV giving DirecTV the exclusive right to broadcast out-of-market games.  Bar and restaurant owners bringing the lawsuit argue that this arrangement causes them to pay a higher price to show the football games than if there were more video providers than DirecTV.  Use supply-and-demand analysis to explain verbally and illustrate graphically whether or not this argument has any microeconomic basis.
