https://www.nba.com/blazers/story/2018/31/7/2018-preseason-schedule-announcement Portland will tip-off the preseason on Saturday, Sept. 29 vs. Toronto in Vancouver, B.C. as part of the NBA Canada Series.
It looks like the games will only be on radio. No pre-season TV this year unless NBATV does one of our games.
Still about 1-2 games too many. Better than the 7 they used to do I suppose. These guys don't play themselves into shape during preseason anymore-- they come to training camp ready to go.
They have nothing to do with the airing of games other than they send out the signal on their satellites. They have no say whatsoever when it comes to the broadcasting of said games. They just pay the team to air them.
Well someone, somewhere is being lazy. Must not make enough money off them to justify the output. Sucks though.
When it comes to doing summer league or preseason games, it’s up to Blazers Broadcasting. Last season we were also not scheduled to cover any, and as the games got closer, sponsors stepped and up and we ended up doing 3 I believe. We’ll see what happens.
The viewership #'s for summer league and pre-season games are probably pretty low. Probably doesn't justify the cost for Blazer Broadcasting to do the games.
LINK? Look if I want your opinion on whether Coors Light has a more refreshing aftertaste than PBR, we’ll ask for your opinion FAMS. Leave the broadcast talk to the expert! #BAM
