SNY to continue UConn coverage [merged thread]

[Boreifs]

Just announced in the broadcast.

 

[Hedge]

Just announced new deal to broadcast games next year as well as pre and post game shows. I think they said 18 games. Good news

Are you guys sitting in front of your computers while watching TV? LOL. Johnny on the spots!!

Very glad to hear that. I like SNY's coverage, and I like the new guy (new to me) that is doing the announcing with Culmo. Maria is growing on me, but there is something odd about her delivery in questions and I can't put my finger on it.

As long as they are on ESPN3 I am happy.

That is a major question. Will the SNY games be syndicated through ESPN -- thus available on ESPN3? If not, that might be challenging for us out-of-market fans.

That is the big question. I think that the BE is currently not an ESPN broadcast partner, I think Fox Sports is, along with their Regional Sports Networks.
But I guess this could all change.
Fox Sports includes FS1 and FS2.

Fox has an app for streaming games like ESPN3.

It’s called an I phone

I’m parked on the couch watching the game on tv with my iPad for watching the Boneyard

There is zero chance they'll be on ESPN3. ESPN won't be purchasing the rights from Fox Sports (which is what SNY is doing). Fox Sports does have their own app, but who knows how many games will be available on that.

"This agreement is a strong complement to our existing Big East women's basketball coverage on FS1 and FS2 and is exciting news for UConn fans who have enjoyed Husky women's games on SNY for many years," added Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman.

SNY reaches new multi-year agreement with Fox Sports to continue carrying UConn women's basketball

SNY will televise up to 18 regular season UConn women's basketball games per year, which will include exclusive pre- and post-game shows.

I do that every game.

Yes, I believe it's FoxSportsGo for streaming. But I was only referring to potential TV broadcast stations. I should have made that clear, I guess.

The bad news is FOX is now merging their apps so FOXSPORTS or FOXNOW work. However, they only offer many of the shows regionally. Like tonight while I have Sling, I wanted to see the Longhorn netwrork with Texas-TCU however Fox Midwest has that game and I can't get that network due to my cable provider. I can only pray for our out of region members that FOX makes the UConn game national for you...

 

[JoePgh]

In both Geno's comments during the postgame press conference and in SNY's own comments on the new agreement, they mentioned that they would continue to serve not only local fans in or near Connecticut, but also "fans across the country." That seems to imply that some generally available streaming option will be provided outside SNY's TV service area.

Yeah I was wondering about how Fox disseminates their games. But hopefully they are smart enough to know that UConn is a National favorite.
On the other hand, right now I have the pleasure of watching Kansas at Oklahoma and I live in NC.

Something that will require weekly BY threads in the offseason.

This is great news!! Props to SNY and their support of UConn WBB

No way that the games will be on ESPN3 next season because Fox owns the rights. It could be on a Fox online network. We will have to wait and see. I did ask a few reporters to see if they knew and one said he would try to find out.

I’ve decided to call this news the Paige Effect

Nothing to do with Paige.

I get the Fox App, so if they are on there I am fine.
If not I might have to become a Duke Fan on the ACC Network.

That's my Concern. I believe the agreement SNY has is with Fox Sports to Televise the UConn Games. Are Fox Sports Game now streamed on ESPN3. I don't think so, but I'm not sure. I did a search on ESPN3 on some Big East team and I don't see their Basketball games listed in Future or Prior Schedules. For Example Youtube TV and Hulu Live streaming service carry SNY in some areas of the country. Where I live SNY is not available from both streaming services. IF Games are no longer available on ESPN3, then I'll probably miss most of the Games as I doubt if FS1 will televise all UConn Games live Nationally.

There is the Big East Digital Network. Big East Conference - BIG EAST Digital Network I don't know hw you access the service and what are the requirements. Friday's Big East Women's BB Schedule does show 4 Games streamed on the Big East Digital Network. Big East Conference - Composite Schedule

As long as they are on ESPN3 I am happy.

 

[Majic Hands]

Hummmm. I have FS1, FS2 channels. If the games are there I will be a happy camper. That would mean I would almost never turn on ESPN.

Something to begin working on towards the end of Summer.

Great news. The staff at SNY are first rate, the majority of fans have access and we can be assured that Geno's show will be continued. Nice move, Uconn.
