    With Phoenix and Utah reverting back to in-house production and free broadcast TV distribution for their local game feed, plus promising eventual free streaming options, the Blazers are looking increasingly old-school in their offerings. Now that we have the Remix and potentially a future WNBA team needing fan access, and loud rumors of ROOT Sports facing shutdown and bankruptcy soon (and in any case, their contract with ROOT ends after the 24-25 season), is it time for the Blazers to bring everything back to home base and distribute locally for free again?

    Maybe they can give the Beavers a television deal and have one channel with nonstop Blazers/Beavers programming.

    Our front office is out of touch. I expect them to make another stupid deal in 2025.

    IDK??? I see every game I turn on and can record them if I want plus internet. Costs me an extra 15 bucks a month compared to basic cable and internet. I also get Mariners games and Kracken Hockey.
    Seems reasonable to me.

    Huh, it's an extra $100 a month for me. My internet alone is 80. Different for different folks, not just $15/month.

    Who knows what’s going to happen, but the Jazz and Suns streaming is NOT free.

    What is the pricing? I'd honestly rather pay a team I'm a fan of directly than have to go through someone like Comcast, direct TV, etc. Depending on price, of course.

    I didn’t say anything about over the air. I said streaming.

    What's the latest update on viewing blazer games on tv/cable/sattelite/stream/etc?

    What are our options?

    I thought I heared root sports went bankrupt not too long ago.

    they should just bootleg a stadium cam on the government broadcasting channel. Nobody watches boring public meetings, everyone would tune into the Remix.

    Charter cable, Spectrum, is in a big brawl with Disney. My TV's have no ESPN or FX channels. Just a screen with a statement by Spectrum whining & complaining about Disney charging too much.

    The pull the rug move coincided with exact timing to the start of NCAA football. College fans are dropping Spectrum faster then a hot skillet, keeping the Dish network new customer lines super busy.

    What this has to do with Blazers streaming?
    Nothing... just relating some local Cable news.

    Yes but you’re paying for the main package too. If someone just wants Blazers games in Portland, it costs way more than $15.
