    I have internet service....the Blazer broadcast on AM and FM radio out of Eugene and now only broadcast sometimes....it's changed...I have to subscribe to internet radio to listen to the Portland broadcast which for ages has been the same as the radio broadcast out of Eugene...I could listen to it on a radio in my shop with headphones or walking around my property....TNT games are on the net for free...I have internet service....if KORE doesn't broadcast blazer games in my area for free....I'm not paying for the same programming on the internet unless I know it's broadcasting every game....I could also buy radio access from league pass

    For Bend Broadband they have the game on 620 and 650 and both show that the Kracken will be on. Talk about insult, two channels of hockey and no Blazers. Hope they guide is wrong.

    the audio of Blazers games on Root sucks ass. It's clear at times, and then it sounds like they are broadcasting from the bottom of a mineshaft. And they had terrible filters on the stadium announcing tonight

    the quality is much worse this year. Good job Vulcans!

    Just curious if anyone who has Wave Cable knows which channel Roots + is? Not for me but a friend who is struggling to watch the games on Roots +?

    That's the only cable provider in my area but I would never use them. Their bandwidth and customer service is trash.

    That being said, it depends on location of service

    Dont let them fool ya.
    I used to contract for commiecast.
    So most people know high heat days affect bandwidth aNd the speed of transmissions, right?
    What they dont know is on those high heat days i would sometimes get a call from the comcast manager to have someone head to a node and crank up the output. But only after enough complaints come in.
    All neighborhoods have nodes and these nodes have transformers that can be manipulated. And they set them based on thier customer base in any given node with an estimated usage, so you dont get super high speeds.
    But then as neighborhoods grow and/ or households pay for higher speeds or have more usage, they dont go and just raise the output of the node until, again, the complaints come in.

    We could all have very fast speeds, but they manipulate it.
