This is bullshit..but if it happens, I find it hard to believe they don’t have a plan in place to make Root available on streaming services by then. Cable is a dying breed, like print newspapers.

I remember saying that back in 07 when they switched to NBCSN.

still not on dish or direct.
 
The guy who broke the story about this was on 1080 the fan this morning.

Gonna have to give that a listen.

He did hedge his story a bit, saying that the deal isn't signed and these things can change last minute. However, he also said that the difference between this rumor and past rumors is that he's hearing it from the NBCSNW and Root camps.

I don't see how you could fit in the Blazers on the current root channel with MLB and NHL already on there. I think they agreed on the show that Root Oregon/Portland would have to be a new channel.
 


Looks like it'll be official by Wednesday.

Son of a bitch.


...is this a bad thing? If so, why? I don't know enough about these cable networks as I "cut the cord" before Netflix even graduated to a streaming platform :dunno:

For accessibility and the amount of platforms, root is a drastic downgrade. No streaming services, Hulu and YouTube are out as options.

It's like the Comcast thing from years ago.

I have to imagine if they are making this move that root and/or the Blazers have streaming stuff coming... and it better not be that bullshit $99 for games either.
 
They probably know Root is not on much streaming services, so Blazers can sell their own instead. They already have the ground work in place.
 
So I have to go back to league pass. Fuck.
