| FTBL What's up with ESPN blackout on Spectrum?

[MunchyOs]

ESPN and ESPN 2 the U, The SECN all gone from Spectrum. Negotiation talks broke down and aren't expected to resume anytime soon. That fucks up Bama fans who have Spectrum as the Middle Tennessee AND Texas games are on SECN and ESPN respectively. What fucked up way to begin the season

Get a free trial or Sling, YTTV, and Fubo to buy some time.

And if it's YTTV, you'll probably never go back to Spectrum.

So if you have internet you can get these other options pretty immediately?

I did that two years ago, YTTV after I cancel it. I didn't know at the time ABC would play on ESPN3. I do have Sling. I'm going to look to see what channel to see what I can drop. You know someone else did this last year! I wish I could remember who did it? It seem like these guy wait till football season too!

Every few years a different cable/satellite company has a dispute with HBO, ESPN, Fox, etc. and does this.

I wonder what this means for games on ABC. While ABC 33/40 is still available, their college sports broadcasts are all of course, ESPN. So, when the local ABC affiliates run college football games, will they be required to blackout for Spectrum subscribers?

I have Direct TV and have been without CBS since July 1st.

I would think 33/40 (and games on there) will still be good if it’s showing now. Like Alabama Mike, I have Directv & CBS has been off the air in entirety since July 1st

You won't get to see Indiana play football tomorrow.

IMO the big loser here is Spectrum. I guess they decided to go ahead and have a mass exodus of subscribers quickly instead of signing an agreement and then increasing their fees over a period of time. This way they would have a slower exodus of subscribers. Not a smart move by Spectrum.

Have Directv. No issues with cbs. Have chattanooga and birmingham affiliates

I hate all the "blacking out" cause the y cant get together on terms
