Notice How to watch root sports without cable

For the posters who wonder why executives like Neil play it safe instead of taking huge title or bust risks.

 

Yes once the contract is signed but they were without a deal, it's convincible they could have started up their own streaming service and not signed with ROOT. I'm not sure there is a single MLB/NBA/NHL team that does this though. Not only would they be on the hook for all of the money it takes to run a broadcast, but now they have to go out and sell the advertisements, have to run the logistics and probably a million other headaches that they've never had to deal with. For an owner that from most reports are will be selling the team in the somewhat near future, it's not an investment she was probably willing to take on. So you grab the money from ROOT, most likely the only bidder, and run! At some point a team is going to go down this path (again assuming the league allows this) and it's going to be fascinating to see how well it works.

 

And just like that....

Sounds like root ironed out the kinks just in time.

well done, though it would be nice to get it all done a bit sooner so fans aren't on the edge of their seat trying to figure out what to do at the 11th hour.

 

I think somebody earlier was making fun of me for being happy that MORE people can now watch the team than last season. I believe as of right now that is very true. WAY more viewership now. Which in terms of business means the team makes MORE money from sponsors, which is the reason these games are being broadcasted.

 

And they never will.
I am going to find a link I was sent by the league showing how there are viewers in EVERY SINGLE MARKET OF EVERY SINGLE MAJOR LEAGUE SPORT (except the NFL) where viewers are missing out on seeing their teams locally because of how they are trying to watch. NOT ONE SINGLE major league market has this viewership issue ALL ironed out. #BigPicture

 

most though. And @THE HCP is correct. It will never be completely flawless as tv viewing continues to go more and more personalized to the viewer. They will never be on all platforms.

having them on these three is a great start. Add dish and a couple more streaming apps and there will be no more room for complaints.

 

LOL

 

So I have Fubo and I’ve set it to record all Blazers games but the first game it says it’s going to record is the Memphis game on Oct 28th! WTF? Is this real life? Anyone know why?

 

So is it going to record the game on the 20th?

 

Isn't there already a thread about all of this?

 

It's literally titled "How to watch root sports without cable"

 

This is a thread how Root effects Eric.

That is a thread about how Root effecting every other Blazers fan.

 

you mean "affects" and "affecting."

@THE HCP

 

Meeeerrrrgggeee.
I aim to make the root sports thread the greatest of all time!!! Screw melocorona!!!!

 

Its also "conceivable" the NBA players could form their own league with their own TV/streaming distribution rights and then they don't have to split any revenue with NBA owners.

Although, maybe neither one is realistically conceivable.
