Trail Blazers TV contract negotiations remain 'wide open' as deadline looms

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

So the KGW deal expires at the same time as the Comcast deal. The Comcast deal is up for renewal. Wouldn't that mean the KGW deal is up for renewal?

 

[THE HCP]

Why don't you ask BeerBoy! He's the expert with all the answers!

The team has until 11:59 p.m. Thursday to ink a deal with a new television partner and team sources on Monday told The Oregonian/Oregon Live that multiple potential suitors are in the running and competition remains "wide open."

New TV contract to be announced today....

It was Mrs HCP's group rate that really saved us some money

Doubt we'll get an official announcement from the Trail Blazers today. Probably not until after the holiday weekend.

Won't that depend on the contract?

Bad news is typically announced on Fridays because not as many people pay attention to the news on weekends. Good news on Monday, but because of the holiday, Tuesday. If you're saying Tuesday then that is going to be really good news! Free streaming games! Free pair of Lillard shoes for every 10 games watched! HCP sent to work for the Lakers!

the Blazers have long been exasperated by Comcast's lack of distribution and angry that, through no fault of their own, a large faction of fans cannot watch Blazers games.

I get ComCast bay area with the standard package with Dish TV. Why? Because the Warrior's required it when they gave the contract to ComCast.

The statement from the Blazers smells. What else did they expect? Comcast gets little extra revenue having Blazer games on Dish or Directv. Perhaps they get less with less subscribers. If the Blazers don't require it in the contract, the fans will be screw again for the duration.

Man, why do you keep claiming to know all this info!?! If I have a question about what kinda' food to eat with a PBR I'll ask for your opinion FAMS!

Sources say new deal will be announced tomorrow.

Deal announced on a Friday of a holiday weekend can only mean...

It's Comcast! :MARIS61:

 

[Denny Crane]

Sources say new deal will be announced tomorrow.

We like sources!

Hopefully this announcement goes a little more in our favor than the free agency signings have/will.

As Mediocre Man once said - "deal coming soon".

 

[BlazerCaravan]

As Mediocre Man once said - "deal coming soon".

I hope there's a streaming option; I am cancelling cable today!

Hopefully it doesn't fizzle out like that deal did.

That deal happened.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

That deal happened.

Were DCS and Hold On To Your Shorts the same deal or different ones?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Were DCS and Hold On To Your Shorts the same deal or different ones?

I have no idea what that other deal was

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I have no idea what that other deal was

I think lots of folks conflate DCS and HOTYS. DCS happened but HOTYS didn't.

HOTYS was over at RealGM's Blazers forum.

Same, almost certain

 

[julius]

That deal happened.

but iirc, the trade you said was the trade, wasn't exactly a super awesome trade. Thus, it fizzled out.

My trade was Zach to somewhere. That happened, just three weeks later
