Great news for suns fans.

What about the blazers. If i remember correctly root sports is going away. who will broadcast blazer games next season?

Is Utah doing something similar? The owner said he wanted to make it as easy as possible for fans to watch the games.

Get me courtside seats and I'll stream the games for free!

 

[BBert]

I live pissing distance from the Portland market/Eugene market boundary. Which means I can't get local Portland channels with cable or with satellite. I'd be completely screwed unless the games are on an available cable channel, or the Blazers offer a streaming service.

No. WB I believe who owned the majority stock in it left, but last I heard Blazers were staying. I guess we will see.

 

[Hoopguru]

Wish the Blazers would do the same.

 

[Strenuus]

Precedent set. Your move, Blazers.

Root is a Seattle business, they will appease Jody and Bert to stay with them and Comcast.

Isn't Root bankrupt?

not sure?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Isn't Root bankrupt?

Financially but not morally like me.

 

[illmatic99]

Free?? Definitely a game changer if it comes to fruition.

All Blazers games should be free on KGW!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

All Blazers games should be free on KGW!

KGW doesn't want to give up network programming for 82+ games a year.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Says broadcast for free and streamed online. Not sure if streaming is free, or all the games are broadcast.

I wonder if maybe teams will start cramming more ads into a free version then have a lesser ad premium content version. Have all free throws in a tiny window with giant adds for free. If you want full screen game action the entire time it costs more. Less commercials costs more. Pregame and postgame cost more. Alternative announcers cost more.

Maybe free is only 720p quality but premium is 4K. DVR costs more.

There might be a way to get the game available in the most basic format for everyone; but also start doing add ons with premium content in a way to have more total revenue.

Good news for me, maybe. I spend winters in AZ and subscribe to League Pass to watch the Blazers. The two games the Blazers play the Suns in Phoenix are subject to blackout since I could pick up their local cable package. Hope I can get those two games on broadcast TV next season.

ROOT SPORTS

 

[THE HCP]

Precedent set. Your move, Blazers.

But this is how it used to be back in the day. It’s nothing new. Remember 20 games or so used to be on KPTV/KOIN/KGW. There was just no money in it, and regional sports networks started popping up.

Oh I know that. A new precedent is set.

I have friends that work at KOIN. They say during March Madness people used to freak out and call nonstop complaining that their soaps aren’t on but basketball is! Said that was the only complaints they ever received.

 

[THE HCP]

Oh I know that. A new precedent is set.

Can “precedents” be reset? Isn’t that the whole reason for a precedent? Now I’m confused.

"A new Precedent?!? Did something happen to Biden?"

Just texted the Suns director of broadcasting asking about the stream and if you have to subscribe, I would guess yes.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Please prioritize the precedents. Partly pessimistic personally.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

And bring back the Trumpets!

Well, you said 20 games on KGW. Now it'll be a full season. New precedent.

Damn you. You proving me wrong is a precedent. Did I do that right?
