Sinclair's purchase of Tribune Media draws the attention of John Oliver:

These are the locations you'll probably be able to find the new "Stadium" channel over-the-air and on local cable packages.

I don't know if they will syndicate the games as in the past. I know they will be available for streaming.

I don't know if any of the non-Sinclair ASN channels will become Stadium.

Saw yesterday that Disney is dumping Netflix and expects to launch its own streaming service, including one to build out an ESPN branded streaming service.

The result is, that BOTH Disney and Netflix will now be needing more content, and most of it will have to be created organically, or purchased just like Netflix was purchasing content from Disney before this announcement. Although I haven't seen Netflix say they intend to expand into sports, why wouldn't they? Furthermore, why couldn't CUSA approach either (or both) of these parties about a streaming service for CUSA games, or even an original programming service for games on their networks?

Slow down. You are waaaaaaay ahead of C-USA in this kind of thinking. In about 30 years we'll approach them.

As is north Louisiana. We are right on the ball.

Hopefully we'll still get games as we did with ASN. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
