Goodbye SNY, Hello WFSB?

Verizon FIOS in Fairfield County doesn't currently carry WFSB so if WFBS starts carrying all of the games hopefully the gold coasters will rally together and force them to.

You can stream WFSB on Hulu, YouTube, or Fubo. I get WFSB, CH 61, CH 8, and NBC out of West Hartford on Direct TV.

In a case such as this, UCONN does not care about the picture quality or broadcasting acuteness, or THE FANS......They care about ONE THING: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

This is getting ridiculous now with these channels and streaming services.

It would be hard for me to think that our CT Govt Officials would allow UConn WBB games not to be televised. I remember a years ago that there was a problem and a game or games would not be televised. Our Governor stepped in and made it happen. At that time it was said that over 65% of the people in CT were watching UConn WCBB. Keep the faith.

The question that begs to be answered: why we don't know by now what the tv situation is. It's not conceivable to me that the University doesn't know what the tv broadcast package is, who will carry the games as well as who will be the on-air personalities. UCONN most surely knows the answers to the listed questions, why don't we??

Wasn’t that back in the Stone Age when CPTV broadcast the UConn Women’s games?

I believe that Connecticut women's basketball games will be carried predominantly on SNY as they were in prior years. There will be a few games picked up under the Big East media contract in broadcast on one of FOX, FS1 or FS2. The only change that is happening is that SNY is, as of this date, no longer available on YouTube TV. It is available on Hulu live which is a similar service that is similarly priced.

The WFSB deal with the school is to present some school produce content on their linear television station. This is content equivalent to that which can be found on "UConn +" currently. WFSB will not be broadcasting the bulk of woman's basketball games, although it is possible they may pick up in early season game that neither the fox affiliates nor SNY wants.

None of that involves the school "withholding information". At least that's my understanding.

No where has it been posted that SNY is not going to broadcast the UConn games. They still have a UConn logo on their home page and still are covering the WBB team.

There is no article or proof that SNY Will not be broadcasting Uconn Women's Basketball. Only speculation and panic at this point.
