Blazers & KGW

How long is the Comcast deal?

I bet the whole NBA would have to do something like that. But I would LOVE that!

I recall back in the early 90s (?) the Blazers offered cable packages directly. Sure, you had to have cable in order to purchase the package but it wasn't bundled with a premium cable package like CSNNW is.
Regardless, the future will be in selling streaming packages. There are enough years remaining on the Comcast deal for the Blazers to work out the details of how to offer streaming packages to their fans.

It was 10 years, $130MM, but I don't remember when it began.

I think the channel has 3 years left on the deal, so expect the Comcast channel to magically become available on everything in 2 years.

They already do something similar online for the KGW games I believe.

They do, kinda. And actually I think it's all games, not just KGW. But apparently it stinks. My step-dad got it the past two years and says for the price ($100?) he can't complain, but he does anyway.
