17 hours ago17 hr Gosh dang it!!! NOW you tell us!!!!My family got You Tube TV to avoid this BS. Now they are all of a sudden putting this out there, I don't care about your 10 dollar credit, I care about watching the games. Usually you're given a month or more warning about things like this, but to spring it a week before the season starts is atrocious. It doesn't give any time to for me to put pressure on Google or Fox to make my displeasure known or to really make a change.
17 hours ago17 hr I got an antenna for my TV, so I could get FOX, ABC, CBS and NBC. It doesn't help me with ESPN, Fox Sports or recording, but at least I can watch most of the big games lives, if my cable provider can't come to a deal. I had to drop Dish TV because they didn't have FOX(?) for almost a year.
17 hours ago17 hr Mega corps are goin' to "megacorp". Us lowly "data points" are just that and not truly part of the overall equation as long as they can get more of the dinero'. Sad to see but nothing will change anytime soon, so we are all along for the ride. One way or another I will partake in watching and cheering OBD to their first Natty...even if I have to "slog" through the accessibility BS.Go Quackers (t-minus 4days/4hours)
16 hours ago16 hr Moderator These battles are precisely why I switched to IPTV. The blacked out Florida/Utah opener from a couple of seasons ago sealed the deal for me.
16 hours ago16 hr Moderator It's 2025 and we're talking about nuclear reactors on the moon, colonizing Mars and needing ten different service providers to just follow your dang football team.
16 hours ago16 hr I have Dish TV and have not missed a game. If needed I'll do a 7 day free trial for one game if it's streamed. Yeah it sucks but it is what it is these days.

15 hours ago15 hr Moderator Decades ago, the NCAA lost its first seminal lawsuit, and in the process, its monopoly over college football broadcasts. The race was on to sell team and conference broadcast rights to the highest corporate bidders. The root cause of these problems is not only on corporate giants battling one another, but the NCAA's lack of foresight, what's new, in deciding that in-person game attendance mattered more than making huge bank for its members, and broadcasting more than one, and on occasion two games every weekend. Imagine the money the NCAA could have brought in if it cogently and collectively marketed its members' college football inventory, including a postseason it should have taken control over, like it does its NCAA basketball inventory. There might have been no conference shuffling of the decks intended to bring in more media dollars.These occasional corporate struggles stink. However, take it from an old-timer, these dust-ups are preferable to having but one college and pro game to watch on a weekend.While I raise Cain, try to avoid the waving Cane.

Real Streams and another I can’t remember. You have to have good internet access or it will buffer. The great part about it is you can watch the major network channels from each major U.S. city. So, for NFL games, if Fox in Portland is airing Seahawks/Browns instead of 49ers/Eagles you can just switch over to the Fox Philadelphia or San Francisco channel and watch it. I like the free NFL Network as well.I always use Privacy.com to pay for subscriptions. This prevents over-charges because I can set the monthly limit.
4 hours ago4 hr I fail to see how FOX's statement was remotely "scathing". Google and YouTube TV said FOX is asking for much more than other carriers and FOX basically said...nothing? "We consider Google's offer to be unreasonable" is not a good argument and not scathing. FOX is acting like retail/fast food union members do when they go on strike and cry they are not getting what they want. Well, you'll get paid what the market rate is and you'll like it, that's what I say. FOX should not be asking for above market rate. Edited 4 hours ago4 hr by 2002duck
2 hours ago2 hr I don't have much sympathy for Fox and other corporate entities refusing to negotiate in good faith. Fox and ESPN did opt to kill the Pac-12 to suit their own interests. https://fishduck.com/2023/08/how-fox-and-espn-dismantled-the-pac-12/ There was definitely something suspicious about the way the Pac-12 died. And I completely concede that the conference was mismanaged as well but there was still some fishy stuff going on.
