Calm down bub... You're gettin' close to this. [video=youtube;rLJFgJ1GXsM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLJFgJ1GXsM[/video]
I'm assuming here, but I don't think Sunday Ticket has anything to do with it. Direct won't carry the Pac-12 network either...maybe their logic is the same. I don't know. We don't get much filtered down info to us.
No personal insults. I'm no fan of Comcast ( I like CSNNW) but insulting Kevin is not acceptable. We're all Blazer fans, Kevin is here to see if there is way that might benefit both RipCityTwo and ComcastSportsNW. If you really want to express your displeasure with Comcast I suggest filing a complaint with the FCC over their proposed merger with TWC - http://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-extends-time-file-replies-comcast-twc-merger-102914 Or if you launch a Comcast executive email carpet bomb - https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=comcast executive email carpet bomb But insulting forum members who are posting here is not allowed.
There's nothing wrong with networking and if a forum has a voice, it's a better way to instigate change or improvement than baracading the door. I notice yahoo is linking SBNation articles all over it's front page. This will never work if the general tone of the forum is derogatory. I see the Blazers.com homepage has switched the link from Message Boards to RipCity2 recently. It's never been a family friendly site since I've joined. There are several members of this forum that are knowledgeable and a few that are even articulate. I'd like to see Comcast stream every game through the internet. Use RipCity2 as their online partner for game streams even if it's low defintion streaming. Offering high def to those who can access it or pay for the service.
This is the first time I've had the opportunity to post one of these. Welcome to RipCity2, Kevin....you rookie!
In any case, it should probably take the format of an "ask me anything". Have one of the reporters register on the forum and answer questions in a post for an hour at an agreed upon time. Kind of like arguing on twitter, but larger format. It can probably get messy if its not moderated well, but I think we will be... :MARIS61: This thing where people submit questions for someone to answer later on doesn't work, real discussion take place in real time on these boards.
I personally think a lot of it has to do with Directv and the tite grip it has and the NFL has allowed it to have. I also understand that if you are privy to some info that you won't elaborate too much on it mainly because you probably like your job.
in all fairness to everyone in here hating on comcast, comcast is the most hated corporation in the country, rating worse than literally monsanto id post a link but i dont want to get in trouble
And I say the reason why it is 5 dollars per subscriber is due to the strong hold Directv has had on the ticket and cables continued unsuccess attempts in acquiring it. There just playing hard ball. Just like the other two companies. They have no desire to share CSN just as the other two have desire share the ticket.
Yeah, its kind of guilt by association. The production, marketing and blah blah blah of CSN is probably ok, but everyone has been fucked over by their customer service, internet connection, billing or something or another. Its like working for Hitler Coffee Company. You could be the nicest guy in the world, but....yah know. Which is why Kevin has to preface that he's actually an employee of NBCU.
Well, then they have to pass that to the consumer, which raises their rates and gets people to cancel due to high rates. It happened here in LA to me with Time Warner Sports Net, I have to pay like 3 or 4 bucks for a fucking lakers channel and I was actually going to cancel today if they didn't give me such a sweet retention plan (free league pass for the season + 35 bucks off a month for the next year). They are doing the same shit with the Dodgers channel now too here.
This just made me laugh so hard I spit my water out of my mouth and woke up Mrs. HCP! #PostOfTheYearFAMS Sent from my Baller-Ass 5.5" iPhone 6+......... FAMS
