As far as a few months ago the talk was WGN not extending there ties anymore? and CSN would be hard to carry both teams....I thought is was a great opportunity for channel 26?....
Thanks Dutch and zippy. I was thinking it shouldn't be affected, but never hurts to ask for thoughts.
Yeah...the tribune reported a week or two ago that the Cubs have a contract with CSN until 2019, and that after the Cubs opted out of the WGN contract this year, that they were going to be coming to WGN in 2015 with more games going to CSN, for the near future. Then in 2020 most likely start a Cubs network. I haven't seen or heard anything since that article.
No, they do not. You can watch home Sabres, Rangers, Islanders, Devils games in HD on DirecTv because they have a carriage deal with MSG. You cannot watch them on DISH and you can only get the MSG SD feeds if those teams are playing each other because there is no other team feed that is not MSG.
CSN Chicago may make deal with dish on there own any ways Csn Chicago is loaded att uverse promos. the teams should buy out the 20% ownership that is Comcast.
CSN can fit all the teams in they have like 2 overflows right now (only direct and att uverse get 2+ in HD right now) on Comcast systems they still use CLTV for CSN+ SD and now CSN + HD has 24/7 filler / reruns to fill time (it used to just have looping help videos)
CSN can have 3 over flow feeds (and att uverse / RCN / Directv can handle that) local comcast systems? They suck at part time HD next to all other cable systems.
I got the scroll on Friday Night during Haven on Syfy. I think it ironic, considering CSN Philly's attitude towards satellite providers.
In Chicago, we have CSN+ if Cubs and White Sox are playing at the same time. I don't know if that would be pulled as well.
It would...no doubt.
While CSN Phily as been mentioned as a RSN not carried by any sat carrier, CSN North West also carries the same distinction. The only pro sports teams they carry are the Portland Trail Blazers and they used to air a few Oregon Ducks football games but I doubt that they will anymore. Dish should get the rights to show these RSNs too
Well, I watch the Devils on CI. Before Dish and ther Dolan Bros had their cat fight, I would pick the Devils feed to view the game.
Now that MSG is no longer part of the lineup, only the other team's feed is available.
I don't know what will happen if both teams playing the contest have no RSN with Dish. That's a good question.
Perhaps Dish will just stop selling the CI package. Same goes for the NBA package.....Who knows. Years ago, Dish offered no pro sports packs. Only College. maybe it will go back to that. If that's the case, I will probably switch to Directv.
I was thinking this same thing. The big push that Dish had at the beginning of football season advertising themselves as the top service for College Sports - showing Big 10 Network, Pac 12 Network, SEC network, and Longhorn Network. When they finalize their deal with Turner, they will have college basketball, the ESPN suite of channels has so much basketball, ESPN has the entire college football playoff.
It seems that most RSN's have one or two college games nationally a week, almost all RSN games are the professional games.
The CSN Philly situation is an indicator of just how Comcast does business. That is why I HOPE they never get their hands on Time Warner.
I got to say I am normally not with Dish in disputes but when it comes to RSN Dispute the heck out of them dish. I think all RSN should be Ala Carte anyway and on top of that if you can not get enough sports between between the networks after noon on the weekends and ESPN you need to get a life and get out from in front of the TV anyway.
How pissed would all these customers be, if Dish lowered the bill for everyone, say $3.00, on the regular packages, then added on a seperate $3.00 fee for Locals Sports Nets. And you could not remove it, even if you wanted to.
Or maybe the conference your team is in doesn't have a deal with ESPN. You must be an SEC fan...

Says the guy posting on an Internet forum about TV. Look, even if we prefer different programming we all ended up here because we like TV. Telling someone they need to get a life because they want to watch sports outside of the national networks and ESPN is a little ignorant.
The thing that non-sports fans might not understand is that most of us don't just blindly watch every game that comes on ESPN. We follow specific teams just like you follow specific series. You may like to watch The Walking Dead but that doesn't mean you want to watch everything AMC broadcasts. You probably record other series you like on other channels. Yes, I can always find something sports related on ESPN but 90% of the time I'm not going to have any interest in it just like you wouldn't have any interest in what AMC shows 90% of the time.
If you are a fan of most pro sports teams RSNs are pretty necessary. Football is the big exception. I'm a huge Tigers baseball fan. If I just waited for nationally televised games I would only get to see a couple per month. Going back to my Walking Dead example, that would be like getting to see the season premiere and the season finale but having to skip everything in between.
