That's what I'm going to do. Although typically after the men's baseball season, I pause my subscription for the summer and switch to shows I want to see on various subscription services like prime, Apple+ etc.
Streaming is still very clunky IMO. Cable is stupidly easy and just works.
DirecTV is your answer, or WAS.Well, YouTube dropped SNY in my area two years ago.
FWIW...I had DirecTV with SNY and I have Hulu Live with the Fox Sports App. Seeing how WBB is a winter sport, I would rather stick with streaming over satellite for UConn WBB games.
Since I can't watch SNY, I won't miss it. I did listen to the announcers when SNY was available to me, but I have noticed over time that if I mute the commentators (many of whom are, as suggested, not very knowledgeable) that I don't miss hearing about what I'm seeing. UConn fans are generally as or more knowledgeable than most announcers about the Huskies and don't need the commentary accompanying most games.
A real fan would have moved to SNY territory.
They would have them if they thought enough people would tune in to watch == ad revenue to pay for the production. Letting them know you would tune in (if you would) would be a good thing.
... and unlike SNY broadcasting our games from the tip off (besides the 30 minute pre-game analysis) all of the new channel outlets may very well give priority to a previous live televised sporting event if running over and the start time may either be delayed or pushed to another affiliated channel something that doesn't occur with exclusive SNY coverage.
I watched the Syracuse/Binghamton WBB on SNY last night. They must have been hard up for content ….
Try DirecTV. That's how we get it in the Hilton Head area.
I don't have DirecTV . I had it and cancelled when for basic they wanted $189.00 a month. There is so much garbage on TV today I felt I could do without it. I use my computer to watch the games on You Tube when it is posted. I can get almost everything I want to watch on my computer.
I'm in SC, have YouTubeTV and stream the games on the Fox Sports App.
As a past New Englander now also living in South Carolina, I share your current pain and am excited to have upgraded services. Would encourage the new networks to bring in Meg and Alan, if not for announcers, at least for half time or similar analysts. Would be smart business for them.
Someone noted in a general board thread they saw former PAC12 announcers now doing games for the BIG10 network so it's totally possible.
Unfortunately, I am an out of market fan and SNY doesn't seem to post the UConn related shows to YouTube.
Thank you, good to hear.
Probably not all the BE games, but I bet all of the UConn games. Eyeballs are the broadcast equivalent of internet clickbait. The patchwork is not going to pass up the eyeballs that follow UConn. Cha-ching.
A quick scan through all the posts on UConn Women’s Basketball Facebook page emphasizes your comment. 1/2 the posts are “wish I could have seen the game.” “I wish they would broadcast the game.” Etc. Lots and Lots of folks are technophobic it seems. Posted there, here, and other places how to watch with the Fox Sports app, but people don’t read.
Probably all of the OOC games against P4 schools get picked up by either our or the home team's TV contract. In conference there are likely to be games not picked up just because we're sharing air time with many other teams and games whereas before SNY was our own exclusive air and there was no competition for air time. The new TV contract will show 65 WCBB games across all Big East teams, and with a total of 165 games each season (20 conference + 5 home OOC x 11 teams), the math says 50-60% of these games just aren't going to be shown by the Big East broadcast partners. UConn being UConn means that more of our games get picked up at the expense of other teams' games, but there are probably some contractual limits to how that works on a per team basis.
If every UConn game in Big East play gets national coverage that means teams like Xavier, Butler, DePaul, Georgetown and others that don't get national coverage will get at least a game or two. Yes Butler currently has a winning record, but unless they and others get drastically better they wouldn't be shown. By the way they only play 18 conference games, so that's 22 less games to cover during the regular season.
NBC Sports is only going to be Peacock streaming. That's what I don't like. Did you watch UCONN men basketball game against Butler today on Peacock? That's the only way you could watch the close game of the men's contest today. I didn't watch. I'm not paying for PEACOCK!
Isn't it great that you have to pay for internet access, 3 or 4 streaming services, and you still get to watch all of the nifty commercials?
I understand that they update the broadcast provider but for Sunday's game against Providence, it only displays SNY. For the Marquette game three days later, the Fox Sports App has been added to SNY. This is the first time that I seen the Fox Sports App addition.
