Another year of Root Sports, no streaming, same' ol same ol'? (2 Viewers)

[chris_in_pdx]

With Phoenix and Utah reverting back to in-house production and free broadcast TV distribution for their local game feed, plus promising eventual free streaming options, the Blazers are looking increasingly old-school in their offerings. Now that we have the Remix and potentially a future WNBA team needing fan access, and loud rumors of ROOT Sports facing shutdown and bankruptcy soon (and in any case, their contract with ROOT ends after the 24-25 season), is it time for the Blazers to bring everything back to home base and distribute locally for free again?

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Maybe they can give the Beavers a television deal and have one channel with nonstop Blazers/Beavers programming.

 

[Strenuus]

Our front office is out of touch. I expect them to make another stupid deal in 2025.

Nothing is free anymore.

IDK??? I see every game I turn on and can record them if I want plus internet. Costs me an extra 15 bucks a month compared to basic cable and internet. I also get Mariners games and Kracken Hockey.
Seems reasonable to me.

Huh, it's an extra $100 a month for me. My internet alone is 80. Different for different folks, not just $15/month.

 

[Natebishop3]

I hear Apple TV is handing out streaming deals.

 

[Chris Craig]

Root should air the Remix games.

Weird? My basic plus the package that has Root adds $14.95.

Who knows what’s going to happen, but the Jazz and Suns streaming is NOT free.

What is the pricing? I'd honestly rather pay a team I'm a fan of directly than have to go through someone like Comcast, direct TV, etc. Depending on price, of course.

Over-the-air is.

 

[THE HCP]

Over-the-air is.

I didn’t say anything about over the air. I said streaming.

 

[julius]

I'll take "things the HCP says about his onlyfans site for 500 Alex"

What's the latest update on viewing blazer games on tv/cable/sattelite/stream/etc?

What are our options?

I thought I heared root sports went bankrupt not too long ago.

[Whyachi]

Root should air the Remix games.

they should just bootleg a stadium cam on the government broadcasting channel. Nobody watches boring public meetings, everyone would tune into the Remix.

 

[Whyachi]

Charter cable, Spectrum, is in a big brawl with Disney. My TV's have no ESPN or FX channels. Just a screen with a statement by Spectrum whining & complaining about Disney charging too much.

The pull the rug move coincided with exact timing to the start of NCAA football. College fans are dropping Spectrum faster then a hot skillet, keeping the Dish network new customer lines super busy.

What this has to do with Blazers streaming?
Nothing... just relating some local Cable news.

I think you're confusing Fubotv

Yes but you’re paying for the main package too. If someone just wants Blazers games in Portland, it costs way more than $15.

 

[MickZagger]

This is 2023. Nothing is free.

If you know the right people, you’d be surprised.

Literally just paid my bill for Xfinity. Internet + Cable with the sports package with Peacock and Paramount+ $167.43
I get every Blazer game. I did not buy league pass this year which i could get for $80 bucks because i cancelled from last year. I just don't see what people are bitching about?

 

[Eastoff]

Does league pass still block out* blazer games if you pay for all teams?

 

[ehizzy3]

if you live in root sports market, then yes.

 

[BonesJones]

Blazers Uprise is free.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Blazers Uprise is free.

Far from it!!! Lol.

You are paying $167!!! That’s what they’re bitching about. How does one get just the Blazers games IN PORTLAND (where league pass is blocked out) for $15?? It doesn’t exist. You’re paying over $100 which is about the minimum you have to pay to get Blazers games legally.

In Portland, yes.

No not in any way are you correct. I’m paying just under $100 for my cable and internet that my kids and Wife use constantly. I’m paying 15 bucks so I can watch the Blazers and Mariners and pretty much every other major sports events that come along. I also watch the streaming through peacock and paramount. On top of that I have HBO. So try to keep up here. $167 covers way more than just Blazers. The part that brings me EVERY game they play is $15 bucks.
