    Do you own stock in Root?

    I don't think it's been officially announced yet. But they made their announcement that they were breaking with root on Fox, so... Kinda makes sense...

    I find it funny that there is a possibility Blazers could be on Chick fil A streaming

    Gotcha. Thanks. I hope they get it ironed out quick. Need time to change things if need be.

    That has to do with the team trading their best player ever though right? Not where the team broadcast was being watched right?

    Is that when they switched? I thought they switch to Root before that... I certainly never watched on Root... Unless that was the only pirate stream I could find.

    Well sure, especially on this forum where the average age is probably 65.

    But that's balances by all the young people who only stream. This was a tiny niche of cord cutters 10 years ago, but grows every year. And advertisers want to go for young people, old people aren't going to buy anything they see on TV. Their too set in their ways.

    Just look at the money Amazon/Apple/Peacock/etc are throwing down on the new NBA TV deal as well as NFL.

    Sure, but mostly people in Washington or other non Blazers regions that could care less.

    Probably didn't help that it was buried behind Kracken games and other programming on Root, and moved to different root channels.

    Even then, you couldn't watch them on the go. It was extremely limited

    It's never been more accesible (illegally), but the quality sucks

    Are we talking about “cared” to watch or had the ability to watch?

    Will be interesting how it works. I know it’s apples to oranges. But MLS is on Apple+ streaming extra sub. But the KPTV+ games still make it to YouTube tv feeds.

    When are people going to understand that the cable providers don't give a shit about you, just money, and to stop giving them money?

    This should be illegal. If you carry those channels you should be required to carry all local content.
