Title: FOX SPORTS SUCKS
Post by: GooooMarquette on November 22, 2014, 02:36:28 PM
This was supposed to be the family of networks that makes its hoops name showing BE basketball...and they show a pre-recorded off-season show about baseball in place of a live game?

We signed on with a bush league network.

I get why it was bumped from FS2 but that's why you need to alternate channels. If you don't have that, at least make the game accessible to all in the FS Go app.

You get why it was bumped?  Could you explain?  I thought baseball season was over.

It's explained at the end of the MUTV topic.

College football reigns.

Oklahoma/Kansas (on FS1) delayed by weather, meaning it will overrun the start of Stanford/Cal (also supposed to be FS1). Bumping us frees up FS2 to air the beginning of Stanford/Cal.

I thought I read that a couple of BE games last week on FS produced 0.0 ratings.

There's already a thread all about this and drewm88's explanation there seems like it's the reason why we aren't on FS2.

"My understanding...
Kansas/Oklahoma is on FS1 right now, but delayed by weather.
Stanford/Cal is supposed to be on FS1 next, but the channel will still be airing KU/OU at kickoff of Stanford/Cal.
The start of Stanford/Cal gets bumped to FS2.
Fox prioritizes the start of Stanford/Cal over MU/UNO, and they're not going to pull the plug on our game mid-game, which would likely be necessary to get to Stanford/Cal on time."

Sorry I'm not reading other threads....

But I still have FS2 on in the background, and they're still showing baseball...more than midway through the second half.

And since when do college football games get delayed by rain (which is the weather in Oklahoma)?

After this performance, aren't we glad they didn't air this embarrassment?

Yes, I'm glad fox2 moved the game. They knew it would be a boring blowout

Ncaa rule. If there is lightening, you must delay

Not only have too many posters here given up on the team, it appears that our broadcast partner(?) has as well.
