As with most of "TV", streaming seems to be the way to go to get the most entertainment that you want.

Dumb question, @Fraz , what specifically is CPTV? A local TV station in CT?

Connecticut Public Television. The channel that carried the Huskies in their early years when no one else wanted to broadcast all of their games.

Down here in SW Florida we've gotten all the games free except the CBSSport ones.

Central Maine gets everything free except for the recent move to ESPN+ of one game.

Streaming on demand is the new world order. Just make sure you have a high-speed connection. With 5G ramping, you wont even have to be logged into a network to watch all UConn games!

So if CPTV won back broadcast rights (how would Public Television even be able to do that???), then that would make it even more "locals only" than SNY. Hmm.
What I don't understand is why people that have access to SNY have UConn games blacked out. Makes absolutely no sense to me.

Whenever Jerry Franklin came on I found myself checking that I still had my watch and wallet ... even though he was on my TV and I was on my recliner – his sleaze factor was that strong.
For those who have no idea who he is, Jerry was the president of CPTV (since retired). Yes, we watched CPTV broadcast games with much angst with the continual begging. However, when there was no coverage in the early 90s, CPTV did bring some games. When UConn WBB became relevant, CPTV capitalized. They can't be faulted, rather thanked. Painful? Absolutely! But there was no alternative. Of course, back during those years, the wife and I were at ALL of the home games. CPTV was on for away games.

I have another Off Topic dumb question...has anyone figured out if there's a way to pause, rewind or fast forward an ESPN3 game being streamed/viewed on a TV?
Personally I use a ROKU stick and the remote apparently can't control what it is streaming on the ESPN app other than exiting what I am currently viewing.

Florida resident. I have directv and I can get SNY if I purchase the most expensive package and add Sport package. A bump of $35 a month. Or I can purchase ESPN+ for about $5. Only disadvantage is no recording so I have to be home and at the TV on time for the start.

Maybe if we petition CBC.ca TV. There should be a growing audience up there if we continue to recruit the Nurses and Edwards'.
