ESPN buys up media rights to gain a monopoly. Suppression is just an after effect. BTW, if you look behind the Texas/Oklahoma move, you will see ESPN. TV runs sports, and a lot of TV is getting out of sports. BTW… free and on TV when you want to see the Sky grow their audience and the young (my daughter, for instance) are much heavier into streaming. I smell disconnect. Or, I hate to say it, but that’s kind of a “tell us you’re old without telling us you’re old” comment. And I’m old enough to only really stream, oh, 1.5 services.

I see a lot of ESPN hate, but it should be directed towards the colleges and cable companies too. I won’t get into it, but we should be thankful the WAC is with “ESPN”. Go ask the DC United, FC Cincinnati, and CAA fans how they like/d FloSports. NMSU football didn’t really play last year, let’s see how their out of region alumni like it this season. Being on ESPN+ is better than being on FS2 once a week and everything else on WAC Digital. Every conference had the option of not doing business with ESPN and most choose to do so. They have the distribution and that’s what really matters.

The SFA football voice said his contract was based on digital platform when SFA’s fan site announced he was on ESPN3/+ and that hopefully news would be shared at media day this Wednesday RE: Semi OT: Big Sky Television Deal - Outsider - 07-26-2021 08:21 PM Just a personal opinion, but would much rather go with ESPN. I think it gives better over-all exposure and a lot more variety of games to watch. I really have no interest in switching streaming. ESPN served us well in the SLC with a smaller geographical radius between conference foes. I think it would serve us better with the larger Western footprint.

Is it ESPN hate when I mention others who want no part? Eh, you always have to be wary of a monopoly. But it’s not likely anyone was turned into a BSC fan by Pluto, it’s not as if CBSSN drives a lot of traffic, NBC seems to get worse at sports, and Fox doesn’t seem like a network venturing far from the P5. Options are limited.

Which is why they pick up the feed from the WAC and insert their ads during the game, while WAC schools get nothing back. RE: Semi OT: Big Sky Television Deal - TexasTerror - 08-12-2021 12:42 PM We always hear bad mouthing by CAA fans of their "agreement" with FloSports. The league extended it two years today Quote:RICHMOND, Va. (August 12, 2021) – The Colonial Athletic Association and FloSports have agreed to an expansion of their streaming rights partnership making FloSports the exclusive digital platform for live and on-demand coverage of 13 conference sports. https://caasports.com/news/2021/8/12/football-caa-and-flosports-announce-expansion-of-streaming-rights-partnership.aspx RE: Semi OT: Big Sky Television Deal - TexasTerror - 08-16-2021 06:10 PM Here’s some good news for the ESPN camp RE: Semi OT: Big Sky Television Deal - solohawks - 08-17-2021 09:19 AM (08-16-2021 06:10 PM)TexasTerror Wrote: Here’s some good news for the ESPN camp What did it say?

Tweet was deleted as was article but there was an ACU announcement regarding ESPN+ for many of their games with the rest on WACDN A thread can be found here RE: Semi OT: Big Sky Television Deal - Outsider - 08-17-2021 07:48 PM ESPN+ likes working with ACU TV because ACU handles most of the legwork of the broadcasting and producing. I am an ESPN fan because I can see most of the games I need/want to. I don't wish to buy multiple different packages by different companies. That's the issue with streaming. For now that means I miss out on live broadcasts of some of the other conference's games. |
