9k combined viewers during two telecasts this season thus far. ESPNU's non promoted last minute due to Irma game (see pillow fight) on SUNDAY at NOON got 82K. I hope you guys can get some better partners in the near future cause BeIN won't help you guys one bit.

While I do have BeIn, it is a pain in the butt to find when scrolling through channels. It is not something that people will generally stumble on as they surf. It is over a hundred channels past ESPN on my provider.

Yeah and while it’s tried so hard to become more diverse from just Soccer they’ve made some bad/cheap moves and haven’t really gone out there saying in the ad space saying they have college football.

Nah we’re fine plus we can still have a decent season. Improbable but we’ve had a bad OOC before and gone 7-1 in conference.

No one watches BeIN. Even for primetime LaLiga soccer matches that are right in the wheelhouse of their target audience, they only draw around 15k viewers.

Their ownership is holding them back sadly given the stigma. If they sold off to say NBCU to become like an NBCSN2 not only will studio shows get and look better the number of households will skyrocket within a year or two.

Oh wow, CUSAs TV package sucks! I had no idea. (sarcasm) This isn't even news. The news will be when the AAC sees their revenue stream from media evaporate and they find they'll be left with nearly the same garbage of BeIn, ASN and E3. Of course at that point, we will likely be exclusively streaming and they'll still troll us.

RE: So that BeIN TV deal...YIKES (9k combined viewers for two games this season)
I enjoy the BeIN games. Production values are fine and announcers, too. Problem is that they don't have an HD channel (at least on Xfinity in Nashville) so when you're browsing the guide for games most people, as I do, stick around the HD channels. I have to intentionally search out BeIN and pretty much only do that if UAB is playing.

Have you tried their streaming app for HD?

Not sure what provider you have but this is one area Cox does awesome in. They have a sports button. You click it, all scores for all sports pop up on the right side of the screen and you can sort through different leagues to find the game you want and directly tune to the game you want. It also has box scores and drive recaps, which is pretty neat.

RE: So that BeIN TV deal...YIKES (9k combined viewers for two games this season)
I'm not sure what Comcast/UVerse packages include but if you have DirecTV and you want the BeIn channel you HAVE to get the PREMIER package which is THE most expensive package that DirecTV offers. Which means you have to fork out about $250 a month (minimum)...why can't they include BeIn Sports on the same package that comes with ESPN/2/U/New/CBSSports/FS1/2?????

That's why BeIn sucks.

They seem to pick really bad games.

$250 a month, what package do you have? I pay $90 a month and have HBO, Sunday TIcket, and Sports Package for free....YOu just have to negotiate.....Bein is really good production IMO, cool seeing Donvan McNabb doing our games, who cares no one can find it, the people who want to find it know where it is....We are never going to get primetime Saturday nights on ESPN, this deal is much better than playing on ESPNU at 10 on a Wednesday night which is what ESPN would want us on ESPNews....ESPN is dying, just be patient and see...

RE: So that BeIN TV deal...YIKES (9k combined viewers for two games this season)
Is that some type of introductory price? How long have you been paying $90 for all that? I must be getting ripped off...I pay $175 for the Ultimate package with a few boxes in my house which is one package lower than the Premier. I get ESPN/2/u/new, cbs sports, fs 1/2, SEC network, b10 network, nbc sports and a couple of the fox sport south channels but no BeIn Sports. When I first got DirecTV it was awesome because I was only paying like 90 bucks for everything I have now....now all those credits/free for so many months have expired and I'm paying the standard...
