Often the exact same movies too...

A similar occurrence happened a year or two (I forget exactly when) here in the Los Angeles area, but UCLA and Cal State Fullerton were playing at the same time on the first Thursday of the tournament. Obviously, the UCLA game was on KCBS, while the Cal State Fullerton game was on the...

The rest of the HBOs, Cinemaxes, Showtimes, and The Movie Channel Xtra. Get rid of the informercial channels too.

...or, adding some more movie channels, like the rest of the HBO/Cinemax and Showtime/TMC networks. I mean, really, we can do without these useless informerical channels.

TWC LA will add BBC America HD officially on December 10th. However, they have a free preview right now. Programming Alerts | Time Warner Cable | SoCal

When I read the Bradenton.com article, one of the executives noted that Rays will be seen in Miami/South Florida as well as the rest of the state. I'm not sure if that's true or not about Miami, but aren't the Rays games blacked out down there anyway? Or is it in a similar arrangement where...

Every now and then, I usually check up on TWC's L.A. region site to find about any new channel additions, and they said that between November 19 and sometime around this coming February, they're adding more channels (25 total) to their current HD lineup. I've mentioned in another thread here...

I thought it I would put this here, since it does pertain to the Thunder. The team named KSBI-TV as its over-the-air broadcast outlet. According to the press release on the Thunder's web site, two of the team's co-owner actually own a portion of KSBI.

How about the poster child of nepotism...one Michael Brown, the warden of the Paul Brown Memorial Penitentiary in downtown Cincinnati. I don't know how has it worse...Marvin Lewis or Lane Kiffin?

I have some ideas... 1) Put the NFL Sunday Ticket on digital cable. If the other leagues and college football and basketball can have pay-per-view packages concurrently on both cable and satellite, why can't the NFL? 2) Get rid of (or refine) the NFL's blackout policy. If you must keep the...

I live in the Los Angeles area (Inglewood to be exact), and I have Time Warner in my home, mostly for the internet service. However, I have an extra cable line in my bedroom, and I have it connected to my TV (I also have DirecTV too). Anywho, our TWC system just added a bunch of new HD network...

Sad, but true about the PSLs, Sam. That's the growing trend in the newer NFL stadiums. I remember it started with the Raiders and their move back to a renovated Oakland Coliseum, although it may have started eariler than that. And, if I'm not mistaken, the Cowboys' new stadium will have PSLs...

I've been a fan of the Los Angeles Clippers for the last 16 years, going back to my last year in elementary school. That was at the time that Larry Brown became the head coach. This was also the time that I really started to follow and understand sports more closely...just as a kid growing up, I...

My world history teacher in high school (10th grade, twelve years ago) is a big time Steelers fan...even had the Terrible Towel hanging on the wall in the classroom. Even though I'm more of a Charger fan, it's too hard to dislike the Steelers, except when they play the Bolts.
