That pretty much sucks. I get to pay 15.99 per month so that I can have CSNNW, and now playoff games are exclusively on a local over-the-air station? Not cool.
pfff, this is totally cool. free Blazer basketball with no need to support an unethical monopolistic corporation is pretty bitchin' in my book.
Only a couple of the 1st round games will be on KGW. The rest will be on either ESPN/TNT/ABC. 2nd round and on is all national TV, no local KGW.
Funny, I ask this very question on courtside, well I sent in a email asking if you had to have comcast to view the games that were not nationally televised. They didn't answer.
I totally sympathize with those who couldn't get games, just like I can't get the KGW games (like the L*ker and DEN game coming up). But I would submit that those who don't get to see the games don't pay a dime for the privelege of not seeing the games. I'm paying something. Kind of like if I paid for season tickets and then didn't get playoff ones b/c they gave them out for free to whoever showed up at the box office at noon on a Wednesday.
Here is your answer then. You should be so happy. I was hoping they would put all the games on comcast just for you.
you do realize that if you had either satilette company, you would have had a box on your tv a LONG time ago right?
Re: Playoff games on KGW I hope its in HD. I watched the Blazers vs Memphis on KGW tuesday night and it looked awful. I switched to KGW on comcast channel 708 in HD and it was showing something else. Blah.
Mike Barrett was just on the MSP on 95.5 and said he expects an announcement in the coming days that all games, home and road, will be in HD. -Pop
An HD box that shows all channels available in HD. DirecTV has 3x the number of HD channels as Comcast at this point.
