To be or not TV

Re: To be or not TV

The $7 a month or whatever it is for charter is well worth it to order during the hockey season. Every North Dakota home game is on as well as a ton of other games from the CCHA.

It also comes in handy during the NCAA hockey tournament every March. ;)

excellent point. You can always cancel after the season and pick it back up next year. Also Charter internet now supports espn360. I wish all games were on major cable with great announcers at times of my choice, but I will take any coverage I can get and happily pay the $5 a month and I don't watch other sports on TV so I guess I'm not one of THOSE, as was stated earlier.
 
Re: To be or not TV

What are you talking about? Every game is telecast by ESPNU. Just because you don't get ESPNU doesn't mean the games aren't there.

If you want a blackout, just remember that the NCAA used to mandate that regionals had to be sellouts or none of the games could be on any TV (like the 92 tournament).

Do you qualify espn 360 as on TV?

Every game not live on ESPNU will apparently be televised live by one or another of many regional sports networks, as well as some free over-the-air stations in some of the schools home markets. Is that as good as having every game on free, over-the-air TV so anyone who wants to can watch the games? No, of course not. But welcome to the real world. Most die-hard sports fans do have access to a cable or satellite package that can receive these regional sports channels. My guess is most fans who want to watch these games on TV will be able to. Those who cannot have further incentive to pressure their providers to pick up the channels so in the future they will be able to.

ESPNU is airing the 4 games they are not carrying live on tape delay. Further, they are making the games available to local and regional outlets. It may be fashionable to pick on the Boys from Bristol, but this time they're doing a good job.
