TRAIL BLAZERS ANNOUNCE 2013-14 TELEVISION BROADCAST SCHEDULE
All 82 regular season games televised, including 78 broadcasts on local networks

PORTLAND, Ore. (August 29, 2013) – The Portland Trail Blazers have announced that all 82 regular season games will be televised in high definition, highlighted by a 78-game local broadcast schedule.

The Trail Blazers will air 60 games on Comcast SportsNet (CSN) and 18 contests on KGW NewsChannel 8. The remaining four games will air exclusively on TNT. In addition, two games are scheduled to be simulcast nationally on ESPN and locally on CSN.

Mike Barrett enters his 15th season on the Trail Blazers broadcast team and his 11th season handling television play-by-play duties. For the ninth straight year, Barrett will be joined on the broadcast by color analyst Mike Rice, who begins his 24th season overall behind the microphone for the Trail Blazers.

Adam Bjaranson, in his fourth season, and Michael Holton, who begins his seventh season, will anchor Trail Blazers pregame and halftime coverage. For the second consecutive season, the Toyota Pre-Game Show and McDonald’s Halftime Show will be shot live from the 100-level concourse of the Moda Center.

On Aug. 15, Charter Communications and CSNNW announced the completion of a distribution agreement to launch CSNNW to Charter customers throughout the Pacific Northwest. As a result, Trail Blazers games and other sports programming will be available to Charter customers, including regions in Southern Oregon and the Oregon Coast, with Expanded Basic Digital service beginning Sept. 17.

Mike and Mike, good.
Wheels and Rice, good.
Bjaranson and Michael Holton, fine, but probably only because the ones before them were horrible.

 

[Strenuus]

I like Bjaranson just fine. He's the best one they've had (Granted, none of them have been that good.)

Holton, on the other hand.... wow. He's just bad. Really bad.

I like how they say "local" but it's blacked out unless you're a comcast customer. That's not local, that's greedy.

I don't plan to get used to it. It's still the RG to me.

Edit: Something just occurred to me. The initials for the Moda Center are the same as the Glass Palace. Therefore, even if I wanted to call it by its initials, they're already taken by Memorial Coliseum.

Hey HCP, did you get this presser from Blazers Edge? No link.

Haha..... nice try homie. I get the press releases sent to me. I'm kinda' big time.

CSN......HD.......yeah, right........

 

[THE HCP]

CSN......HD.......yeah, right........

Do you not own an HDTV?

 

[-Ace-]

Yes, yes I do. CSN's HD picture is much worse than ESPN's, TNT's, and even KGW's.

 

[THE HCP]

Ah, didn't understand your post.

 

[-Ace-]

My bad. Just a quick negative comment on CSN being HD when it's really not.

Ya, I've seen guys complain on here about the signal. I myself never had a problem when I had Comcast, maybe it's a location thing.

How old are those cameras the Blazers use at the Moda?

Maybe this will help, the MC is really the Veteran's Memorial Coliseum. So you can call the old MC the VMC and the old RG the MC.

 

[THE HCP]

Somebody brought up a point earlier on here.....Moda Center=MC

I like that!

 

[THE HCP]

AGGGGHHHH beat me to it!

 

[THE HCP]

Couple years old......still, top of the line HD Cameras.

If you don't have Comcock is there a way to get the games on the internet. Details would be much applicative thanks!!

Yes but it's a raw feed so there is no audio, graphics or score on the screen. It's very hard to figure out what is happening.

 

[THE HCP]

Kinda' like this place!

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Blah blah blah fuck Comcast, fuck the Blazers for selling their soul to the devil, wash rinse repeat over the last umpteen years and never expect it to change.

Don't get me wrong, it looks better than SD would. I was watching a few of the games I DVR'd over the course of the season today, just to confirm. TNT game, ESPN game, and a CSN game. I just wonder why CSN is stuck in HD mediocrity behind those other channels

 

[BrianFromWA]

Where are you watching from, Ace? When I had CSNNW HD in the Seattle Area, the HD was always poor. Someone said that the feed out from the transmitter was garbage. I don't know enough about cable transmission to know, but it's not new and you're correct that it sucks.

 

[Strenuus]

I didn't even know it was in HD... I thought it was SD the entire time.

Oh comsuck.

I've had the net since 1999, and that was at my parents' house, which is also in the same neighborhood.

Where am I?

I was in Bing, searching for the bus schedule to the crematorium, and poof, like magic.
