soggybagel posted:Except TNT is like a part time sports channel but still is handling original broadcasting. The only reason why I can see Comcast making this move is that they are betting the house on Peacock and essentially want to force you to sign up for it if you were a regular NBCSN viewer. I think both the NHL and PL contracts are up soon too.

Mahoning posted:After 10 games or so, I can say I definitely miss the MLB on Fox theme when I watch the Reds. There’s not much to like with Bally Sports. The score bug sucks, the theme song sucks, the name sucks. Agreed, and somehow it’s a worse scorebox for hockey. Fox had the perfect hockey graphic and a great theme (a remix of their old network NHL theme) while the universal Bally theme is just nothing.

One school—I want to say Moberly, but it may have been Mexico—had commentators go on a huge tangent about how they’d been watching more Blues hockey since they got an HDTV, and that they’d want to change their last name to “Colaiacovo” because they thought it sounded cool

harperdc posted:what about cable? specifically the host broadcaster, ROOT Sports, doesn't have a deal with DirecTV, YouTubeTV, or Hulu, or Dish Network on satellite. I don’t know how the VPN thing would work with ESPN+ (which is doing all the OOM games this year for the NHL as part of their basic sub), but you may want to give that a try

Reminds me of when the Cardinals left KMOX for a couple years in the mid-2000s. The team decided they wanted to outright own their radio outlet (KMOX is a CBS O&O, and always has been) and bought KTRS 550, who had already made moves poaching KMOX’s morning team. Problem is that KTRS struggles to get full coverage of the metro area, whereas the “50,000 red-hot watts” of KMOX’s clear channel feed were a big part of the Cardinals getting the following they have, for better or worse (as that loving Twitter account regularly shows). The experiment lasted a few years, and then the Redbirds were back on 1120 AM, though they still own 550 through a holding company.

GutBomb posted:The only cable or satellite customers in Denver that can see nuggets, avalanche, or rapids games are DirecTV customers because of a dispute between Altitude and all the operators who balked at their insane fees. altitude is owned by the same ownership group as the three teams mentioned and they’re expecting way too much for their lovely channel. It’s been 2 years at this point. It’s literally just with Xfinity. Some outlying areas have different cable providers I work for one of them in a department that handles some of these disputes and they get on just fine with That Family. (Dish Network, though, is an entirely different kettle of fish. They play hardball with EVERYONE, including a non-profit that owns an NBC affiliate, about carriage fees.)

This is a wild story https://twitter.com/johncanzanobft/status/1486739581856665603?s=21 (Long story short: Montana State’s WBB commentator said some very racist and, shall we say, Fox News comments about Portland when the Cats played Portland State, got fired, and then doubled down on his comments)

GoatSeeGuy posted:Yup, all the Sinclair family. They've done 3 or 4 of these (Marquee does the rest with hilariously bad production/sound issues) , and I'll bet biblical losses it's trial run for regular season games at some point to cut costs. Huh, Bally Midwest sent Dan McLaughlin/Jim Edmonds/Rick Ankiel down to Jupiter for Cards spring training. Danny Mac was all over Twitter about how great it was to be in a road booth again.

Jubs posted:Fox gets the A game at 12. CBS gets 3:30 and NBC gets 8. Big 10 network gets leftovers. I’m a bit intrigued with the NBC element, partially because of the ND contract but more because Lorne Michaels is known to lose his poo poo if SNL even gets bumped back by a couple minutes
