I don't think we are trying to innovate. It's happening in spite.
For selfish reasons I'm glad to get out of bed with espn. They won't let me watch any games. Seriously, you can watch Canadian Football games, but I can't what college games on espn3. I'm 100% all in for the Stadium and Facebook games.
How is a reduction in expense an increase in revenue ?? Fake math ??
Probably means overall profit.
if so, the southland a.d. needs to learn how to say what he means.
Unfortunately you're right.
I agree. I'm a cord cutter. I know most of yall in backwater North Louisiana can't do that
Since when is CBSSN not television? lol. That's a first.
Football championship is now on CBSSN... which means we get to play the game when C-USA wants to play it, not when ESPN tells us to play it like at 11 AM on the Deuce competing directly against a couple other conference championships.
For us, CBSSN is as good as it gets.
Yeah. Imagine the uproar if we ever got to host the C-USA Championship, and then ESPN/2 relegated it to 11 AM like they do every year. 11 AM games are the worst.
It certainly isnt a standard channel. Its as useless as it being on ESPNU at my house. It's not on Tech's channel listing either.
One of the biggest complaints with CBSSN is that its not a channel everyone has.
C-USA has been playing on CBSSN since the beginning of time. Fans have known they need CBSSN to watch C-USA for a long time.
If you really want to watch C-USA on TV, then you'll pay to get CBSSN on your TV. If not, don't make up lies that it's not on TV because you are too cheap to pay for it. More than 2/3 of US cable households have CBSSN in their channel lineup, and it's available to everyone one way or another (TV or streaming) if they really want the channel. It's also on TV at your favorite sports bar for free if you simply ask.
Most importantly.... CBSSN is the only TV parter (other than Fox who offered terrible game dates/times) that is offering or has recently offered C-USA a true revenue deal to be our primary TV partner. So the alternatives are revenue for Tues/Wed night and Sat morning games on FSN/FS1 or no revenue weeknights on ESPNU and weekends on ESPN3. Stadium is simply an exposure deal that saves C-USA schools from producing those games. Now are you still standing behind "stop the CBSSN" mantra?
Truth is CBSSN is the best partner for C-USA, and that's why the conference is sticking with them.
Comcast made CBSSN a premium channel beginning in 2017. Before that, it came with the basic package.
I need to evaluate if I even need the extra sports package on Dish. I can get CBSSN without it. It is the out of conference games that I can catch on some of those sports channels, though. If a game is on tv, instead of streaming, I will choose that way of watching every single time.
I know it's not an option for everyone, but CBS SN is on all the major streaming services except Sling.
