I just wanted to repost the the link to the spreadsheet I'm using since I just realized I haven't repeated that information since the very first post in this thread several months ago.

Summary of results for the week of February 1-February 7, 2010 (Week 13):

Total RSN Games: 57
Games in the Clear: 50
Games Blacked Out: 7
% in the Clear: 87.72%
Total Full Court Games: 40
Full Court Games in the Clear on RSNs: 23
Full Court Games Only Available on Full Court: 17


Summary of the results through Week 13:

Total RSN Games: 592
Games in the Clear: 481
Games Blacked Out: 111
% in the Clear: 81.25%
Total Full Court Games: 303
Full Court Games in the Clear on RSNs: 153
Full Court Games Only Available on Full Court: 150

This was a very good week in terms of both the number of blackouts and also in the number of Full Court games broadcast in the clear on the Multi-Sport Pack RSNs. This is the first time I can remember this year where the total number of ESPN FC games available in the clear on RSNs has exceeded the number of FC games available only through Full Court for the whole year. Essentially, you can pay DISH 5.99/month for for 5 months, $30 total, to see half of the ESPN Full Court games ($104 for a FC subscription) in the clear on RSNs. That's a good deal for budget conscious college hoops fans. Also remember you can watch all of the other FC games on ESPN360.com if your internet provider has that site available.

Apparently I have ESPN 360, so I can get all these full court games for free - cool! Does ESPN Game Plan work the same way?

Yes it does. ESPN360.com, for those who have it and also can hook their computer up to a TV, is a great service to have during college football and basketball season.

Perfect! Free out-of-market ABC games for football. Apparently 360 doesn't use the TV half time shows though?

Nope. You get some stuff produced by ESPN. 360 doesn't show commercials either.

Yeah but it just goes dead black. I think I'd rather have the commercials than a state of nothingness.


They probably cant show highlights or something and that's why it has its own halftime content?
