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