Had my hopes up to watch via MLB.TV when that other thread stated that there aren't any blackouts impacting Midwest teams...but that doesn't appear to be true. No blackouts just means you can get it thru the CHSN app now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopa1219 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The interface of the app is atrocious. Couldn’t navigate the box score. Or the other panels on the screen. Also does CHSN, have a White Sox beat reporter? Some good Sox writers are on the street now unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGH... I'd understand this argument if this was her first job or something, but she is pretty decorated before working for the White Sox. It's not like she got this job JUST because her dad played here/she is related to Gordon Beckham. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let’s be honest — if she was the female version of Garfien, she wouldn’t have the job. 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Michigan Emmy award winner eventually left the Motor City in 2022 to co-host The Rally on Bally Sports, while also joining Apple TV+ for its Major League Baseball broadcasts and the Big Ten Network for college football. Fletcher joined the newly established CHSN at its inception and currently hosts The Chicago Lead, the network’s cornerstone show that airs each weeknight.

From what they said, Comcast simply doesn’t make that much money in these deals, especially not for three currently bad teams. And Michael Reinsdorf is acting like a clueless old man yelling at the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I don’t really get what CHSN is doing at this point. Just agree to the Comcast deal to go on the higher tier and then blame Comcast publicly for it. I can’t believe anyone still uses Comcast/Xfinity for television. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been without “cable TV” for ages. At the beginning of this year, I upped my Xfinity Internet speed to a gigabit down, which came with a free year of Peacock Premium so I can get all the big WWE events. 🤣 I have an Nvidia Shield Pro on my main TV and Onn 4K Pro boxes on my other TV’s. I use antennas for OTA channels and Stremio and RealDebrid to stream anything I want for free, including live channels. I also get free MLB.tv each year through my son’s T-Mobile cell service. I can’t imagine paying Xfinity/Comcast for anything other than Internet. I even looked into AT&T Fiber Internet to dump Xfinity altogether but it isn’t available in my area yet. If you know what you are doing, you should be paying around $100 bucks a month at most to watch anything you want.

Lip Man 1 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 My understanding from reading the story is that Comcast's biggest issue is the fact the Sox/Bulls are allowing their games to be seen via over the air (i.e. free) TV which devalues Comcast's product in their opinion. And God knows the state of the Sox/Bulls is devalued big time right now the way things are. Perhaps if the Reinsdorf's and Brooks decide to stop free TV broadcasts Comcast will agree to a deal?

NBC, which is OWNED by comcast, is on "free tv". same, as abc, cbs, wgn, and pbs. Comcast charges me $25 a month to watch those stations on my xfinity box.
