    This feels like a money grab.

    Who has Root sports? A quick search shows no streaming TV services currently carry it.

    Ugh. YouTube TV has been great.

    I'm guessing it will be a paid add-on for more

    What does that mean? Is Root more readily available?

    I thought the switched from root to nbc because root was only with comcast? Without comcast you cant get it?

    maybe im way off on that.

    Thats fucked up. Why would the blazers want to limit their fans viewing options?

    Fricken mcgowan.....

    Putting it on the Seattle sports channel with 2 other Seattle teams with the NHL team coming in, good move with how limited its streaming options are for cord cutters :mook:

    Satellite services have Root. So less access for cord cutters, but more access for some others.

    I'm waiting until there is an official announcement from the Blazers. If the Blazers move to a different channel I hope there will be better pregame and postgame programming about the Blazers because ComcastNWSportsWhatever has not been good.

    Good point. There is a site which uploads replays by quarter... I'm not sure how soon they do it. But if it's within an hour or so it might be worth it.

    Pretty sure Root can switch the feeds based off of where the channel is being seen. Down here in South Texas we get Spurs on 'Fox Sports SW' and they also have the Dallas Stars. If SA is playing, that's the game they feed, if they aren't then we get Stars games if there is a conflict.

    The Blazers do not care about their fans (see the Comcast deal in 07 which alienated a large portion of the fan base).
