    I do have a hard time believing this. Everyone says Seattle will be getting an NBA team soon and it would be a guarantee Root Sports would pay for their rights. They can’t afford two nba tv deals

    They will create two channels, one for Seattle and one for Portland. They'll call them Sroot and Proot!

    i used to have YouTube tv and CONcast internet, along with Netflix, Disney+, Hulu (non live, but ad free) and a couple other things. it was much cheaper to switch back to cable and internet through CONcast. so i guess this doesn't really effect me.

    the fees for Comcast are crazy. The best deals are only for new customers as well

    I wanted to downgrade my internet and keep the same cable package and the only deal the guy on the phone could offer me cost MORE than what I was paying before. But I tweeted at @comcastcares on Twitter and they found about the same as I was paying but with downgraded internet. The fees and taxes are ridiculous

    I refuse to go back to cable ... the extra equipment, hidden fees, constantly dealing with wrong billing amounts.

    If this results in no more postgame shows with Danny Marang, I’m all for it.

    Shouldn't, they're part of Blazer broadcasting which is separate from Comcast.

    Pretty sure when Wheels was the radio guy, he has a contract independently with the team so it doesn't matter what channel they're on.
