Huge announcement courtesy of our friends at CSNNW

[SlyPokerDog]

Okay, it's not huge but it is really nice and very cool. As you know our level of press credential doesn't give us access to the press room. Because of that we can't get in to hear Stott's post game press conference. CSNNW has agreed to provide us with a live feed embedded in the forum after every home game. That means you will now be able to watch the press conference live in the forum.

This is a great example of the Blazers and CSNNW working together to bring us better and more in depth coverage of the team we love.

Sweeeet!

Unless the announcement is they've come to an agreement with Dish and Direct, who gives a flying fuck.

So, we can't rip on Dwight Jaynes anymore?

I just dropped my blood feud with Comcast!

Not really. I'm still not going to pay them any money.

Nah he deserves all the shit he can get

Really?

This is incredibly nice and gracious of them. They don't have to give us shit. I'm actually very appreciative and think it's great.

This....

 

[BlayZa]

Huge if real.

 

[magnifier661]

Huge if real.

Exactly! It would be sooooo cool to watch entire video feeds instead of clips

 

[jlprk]

It'll be a good addition to the board. I'll watch. But I've found free options to replace Comcast cable. Constantly changing my monthly bill lost me.

 

[Hobbesarable]

I'm feeling some negative waves in this thread. Speaking of negative waves...

Yes, really. It's been 7 years (this being the 8th) without having a "deal" struck. That means it's been 7 years where the Blazers haven't been on my TV because comcast doesn't even try to sign a contract with dish or direct.

It's been 7 years people, with the vast majority of the games not being on my TV, and doubtful that anything will change once this contract is up. So pardon me if I'm not super excited about trinkets.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Question: Does that mean we will be able to watch Talkin'Ball in this forum?

 

[THE HCP]

You have to get an internet bundle in order to see the presser!

This is the truth.

[julius]

Glad to know what we can say and can't say now. I'll do better, booker man.

 

[TBpup]

Nice to be able to get the whole interview versus the edited version if we want to see it.

Good news!

You guys are right. Fuck them and fuck me for trying to do anything around here.

The local CSNNW has nothing to do with the Blazers being blacked out. Because of changes in the Blazer's press policy we have no access to is the press conference. I'm trying to find an solution to this and CSNNW was gracious enough to provide one.

It takes time and work to do things like this. It's not easy for Denny to make it so this forum can embed and stream content but we do it for Courtside, The Court Report and now were trying to add the post game press conference. Yes, it sucks that a lot of us can't watch the games but instead of bitching why not focus that this might be a tiny step towards showing the Blazers and Comcast that streaming content is popular, it's wanted and it would be nice to have that option to watch games in the future. Or we could just pat each other on the back for telling people that have nothing to do with this to fuck off.

Hear hear!

It's been 7 years. The time for being happy about baby steps was about 7 years ago.

It's like someone taking your car, blowing it up and say "Sorry man...you know what? I'll give you a new car stereo! What do you mean you're not happy? You ingrate..."

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Thanks sly and Denny. This is seriously great news

 

[magnifier661]

Don't mind the complainers. They are just democrats needing to complain about something

 

[noknobs]

That'll be cool. Thanks for working to get this done.

No, this is like cussing out your mailman because you don't like the IRS. They're both part of the federal government so it makes sense.

 

[julius]

No, this is like cussing out your mailman because you don't like the IRS. They're both part of the federal government so it makes sense.

Cept that the IRS isn't part of the Postal service, like comcast is part of comcast sports nw.

It's more like finding out that the company that signed a contract with your favorite sports team hasn't agreed to sign a contract with two satellite companies because they're greedy and want you to use their cable system, now has offered you footage of a press conference and you're expected to think that's super peachy keen, and when you don't, someone gets mad at you for expressing yourself.
And in expressing yourself, you don't tell HIM to fuck off, or anyone in the company to fuck off, and still get your message deleted.

The next time a "huge announcement" is made by CSNNW, it should actually be the one that is 7 years late.

Great analogy! You guys have done more to improve content on this site in the year I've been a member than any Blazer forum on the planet. To those who complain about access, the radio is free. Blazers games are always there. If these guys have offered to stream content for us here, what's to bitch about?

The folks that offered this option on this site probably didn't work there 7 years ago. Start a thread with your concerns and I'm sure it'll take off but this thread offers good news, here and now and it's an upgrade.
