    I found a channel called charge on YouTube TV. Is it the same one? I don't know. Is it a local or national feed? I don't know.

    According to the website it looks like that is in fact the KATU Charge! channel.


    Watch CHARGE! on:
    • Local Over the Air Broadcast channel 2.2
    • Local Over the Air Broadcast channel 47.3
    • Xfinity Portland Regional channel 302
    • Xfinity Portland Regional channel 1170
    • Dish Network Channel 290-36
    • You Tube TV
    • Sling TV

      What is the CHARGE channel on YouTube TV?
      Charge! is an American digital broadcast television network owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group that airs action and adventure-based programming.

    So in Austin I get this list - I can't imagine they'll have Blazers games OTA down here.... I'm guessing you can only watch Blazer games on Charge if its a Portland local feed so that would probably be the first 4 items on your list. I just doubt you'll see it at all for those other national options (Dish/Youtube/SlingTV/etc) Would be nice to get some more official confirmation on this.

    Austin Texas results;

    Watch CHARGE! on:​
      • Local Over the Air Broadcast channel 19.3
      • Dish Network Channel 290-36
      • You Tube TV
      • Sling TV

    If you're having streaming problems you should get your prostate checked.

    I'm also confused by that link HCP had earlier - I think it was an Aaron Fentress article or something - that said Jan 1st all the channels were changing and then DirecTV could watch. That will be even more confusing if this whole setup is only for 10 weeks and then everybody's channels to watch games change.

    Yep. DirecTV customers can’t watch a Blazer game until Jan 1st and then it’s on Univision channel I believe.

    Yeah but Fentress article also said the OTA channel would change from 2.2 or whatever to a different channel for all of Portland... Just seems odd for the Blazers to deploy this new OTA setup then 10 weeks later totally change all the channels again.

    I want to see a source besides Fentress confirm this Jan 1st change.

    I think it had to do with prior contract priorities or something like that. I'm okay with it.

    I believe if there is a conflict of some sort the games will be on Univision.

    "Now, for the first time, most Blazers games will be available over a local network either through an over-the-air antenna or a local cable or satellite provider that carries KATU or KUNP, a Spanish-language channel that will be converted to an English-based station focused on news and sports starting Jan. 1."

    Pretty simple.

    Okay, so reading through this i think i need an antenna or subscribe to youtube tv now or im assed out?

    i have dstream, hulu, fandango, disney & peacock

    so first blazers sign with root who almost no one has until root was picked up by dtv.

    Now they sign with yet another channel not already on the main viewing companies?
    Dish
    Dtv
    Cable


    Why cant these channels agree to all three?

    it sounds like this is much better than root, but still forcing most people to make yet another change of some sort???
    And the. Once i get charge i need to figure out how to record because it isn't on my normal recordable options?

    I am not a fan of technology.


    I know I know… get off my lawn!!!


    But really… some stability without constant change would be nice…..

    Antennas are available for like $6 on Amazon. This isn't exactly new tech.
