Full Version: MAC Semifinal Viewing Issue

Hoping we can collaborate here on a solution. As of now the MAC lists obscure FOX College Sports as the broadcaster of the late semifinal game which UT will play in if they win Thursday's quarters. Unlike CBSSN, most cable systems do not carry FOX College and it's online streams only work for those who also get the TV feed. It's weird and, honestly, dumb to put one of the biggest conference games of the year on a network few people get and the league has never previously used. I've emailed the conference media and tourney staff to try and get some help, but hoping we can use this thread to come up with a fan solution to help each other access a feed.
Looks to be channel 608 on directv but is a standard definition feed only. Talk about stepping back in time.
take a couple days off work to fly/drive/bus/boat to Cleveland. Seems practical.

Wouldn't it be fun to be the fly on the wall during these decision making session, just to see how such a thing came about? Is there fly-sized narcon?

They aren't trying to get it distributed to regional Fox Sports networks? I've never heard of Fox College Sports.

I've used it for all UT away games on ESPN+. Typically multiple streams to chose from
Spectrum has the college networks (there are 3 of them) although only in SD. They are down in the 300s, if anyone has Spectrum and doesn't know they have these channels. There is an Atlantic, Mid-West and Pactific channel. It appears the MAC game will be on the Atlantic channel - go figure.

Does seem really silly for the MAC game to be there. Of course, when Disney completes buying Fox, everything is gonna get tossed around. Right now I think I get 12 different Fox sports channels - including Fox Sports Ohio, and the Big Ten networks. 98% of the time, they show nothing of interest on any of them. Fox bought the local Cleveland Sports Time Ohio and turned it into a non-Ohio channel immediately ... well they do show Ashland University basketball. I'm guessing a lot of those will go away after the acquisition, as Disney has to divest most of those anyway ... divest to who tho.
