Probably the only positive thing I can say about Banowsky as Commissioner. However, it made me realize, again, just how far we've fallen as a conference with our Championship game going from Nationally televised on CBS to being on Fox Sports 1.

Fox Sports 1 is distributed nationally. MLB playoffs got moved to FS1, so it's not the doldrums that you make it out to be.

It's not as great as you think either. I have the sports package with Dish and can watch all of our ASN televised games, but Fox Sports 1 isn't included in the sports package or my coverage tier (which is a required level to get the sports package).

I have Fox College Sports, FS2, all the ASN channels, CBS College Sports...but no FS1...tell me how that works?

ASN games are on broadcast channels. You can get the ASN games with a free over the air antenna.

On Dish there is no package that has CBS SN but doesn't have Fox Sports. You have to have the "Top 200" to get FS1, which is all of $5 more a month than "Top 120+" although looking at this chart I found you then lose FS2. Dish seems really complicated, so, I guess I would just switch away from them. With Charter FS1 is in the base package.

I live in North Carolina, I can't get Birmingham's local ASN games with a free over the air antenna, I need the sports package to pick them up. In fact, I've watched one of our games a few weeks ago on NBC College Sports Bay Area.

You're right, I don't have CBS College Sports, just got carried away listing channels. I'd love to switch to Charter instead of Dish, but there's no cable provider that services our area.

In fact, we're so rural that even the DishNet that advertises by throwing darts at a map of rural areas doesn't even service our area.

David Crane emits soothing sounds.

I realize having home games on TV gives great exposure to the program, but I sure would like to be able to see the road games.
