Uh... 4 games on the real network, 16 buried on the milk carton that is CBS Sports Net, I'm not sure I see this as wonderful news.
Eh. It is good news I guess, as long as games aren't moving from FS1/FS2 to CBSSSN, and these are all games that otherwise wouldn't be aired beyond regional networks.FS1 and FS2 are way more prevalent in cable packages than CBSSN. I do not get CBSSN in my package, but I get FS1 and FS2. Games on the big CBS would definitely be good news. But "up to" 4 per season doesn't mean much. Just means they have the rights to air them. Doesn't mean they will. Could just be a defensive play to keep FOX from airing them.
CBSSN is much higher profile than FS2.
Eh. I don't think so.
Playing on a different networks gets other national media to cover your product.
I don't think that matters much in this day and age.
For how much I watch and how many hours of Sirius XM I listen to. Trust me, it's matters! I will not debate how much. People can have their own thoughts on that.
My point is that I don't think national media coverage matters very much. If you win, you're covered.
Guess this just means more games that I'll be scouring the depths of Reddit to find a stream. Not good news.
Man you guys are old ... the thinking in this thread is so dated it is embarrassing.See the Cubs in Chicago, are they second class? This season their games can be found on CSN, CSN+, WGN, WLS, Fox, ESPN and ESPN2.Is the NCAA championship second class? It is on TNT.Welcome to 2019 where your games are on any one of 12 different channel.Go see cord cutting thread on the superbar. All the "top tier" channels are collapsing as subscribers leave by the millions. Cable is entering its last years before it goes away and replaced by streaming. In the future the top tier will be the FAANGS (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix or Google).Enjoy your warm milk and make sure your depends are on tight.
1. Regional sports networks are a different breed. 2. TNT is not a sports network.
And the national sports networks are bleeding subscribers are dying. Using appearances on these dinosaurs as a way to say your conference matters really says you are old and out of touch.
CBS is going to broadcast 20 men's basketball Big East games per season through 2024-'25. At least two appearances for each team. Up to four games on CBS per season, rest on CBSSN.https://www.cbspressexpress.com/cbs-sports/releases/view?id=52629
If I recall, MU played two games on CBSSN last year that were good games.Don't know if this had anything to do with the CBS contract. But it appears they believe the Big East is high quality basketball.
