AT&T U-Verse, FOX Sports 1 negotiations could affect Marquette games
<br /><br />The existing agreement between FOX Sports and AT&amp;T U-verse does not cover dozens of live sporting events beginning on Saturday, with six Big East regular season basketball games and nine conference tournament games being affected, according to a press release from FOX Sports on Friday.<br />

I just called ATT u verse and complained. I hope I do not have to go back to Comcast. ATT said it was not certain that they will drop FS1.
-
Buzz got this one right, a'nia? MU should have let Chicos handled this deal.
-
I just went to set my dvr to record tomorrow's game on Fox Sports 1, and the uverse guide does not show the game being on. Does anyone else have this game not listed in their guide? I am in the Milwaukee area. I see on Fox Sports 1 website it is listed, it is just odd and now I am a bit worried I will not see the game.
-
Couldn't find it either. :-\
-
See Matt Velazquez Says.
-
As far as I can tell, this only affects contracts signed with FS1 after it was officially announced. Things like MLB and the World Cup (Women's World cup to the non-MIB fans), were signed before FS1 so it isn't affected. This is really, really weird. I don't get it.
-
See post about 10 below by Velasquez about apparent dispute between ATT and FS1. I called ATT yesterday and they said it was still being negotiated. Guide says dart championships. Watching FS1 now and scroll says ATT customers if you don't want to miss live FS1 events please call ATT asap.
I am in Chicago suburbs.

Merged threads...so just look at the top of this one to answer your question.

My apologies, I misspoke...I thought it was a standard distribution issue. It isn't, but what is happening is not that uncommon. Now that I went back and looked at the contractual dates, I'll give you the better answer.
It happened to DIRECTV last year with FS1. The gripe by the distributors is that they are paying Fox to carry the linear channels to their customers. Fox (and others) are then charging EXTRA fees for certain events. Last year with MLB games on FS1 came down to the last minute with most distributors and Fox, because the games for MLB were secured separately and put on FS1 outside the parameters of the main deal. So if you don't pay Fox extra, you don't get to carry them. Well, you an imagine how that pisses off the distrbutors who have to raise fees to customers. People blame the distributor, almost never the content provider holding the distributor hostage.
So AT&T is taking a principled stand. Thing is, this can happen at any time with any provider and any network. Keep that in mind if you switch, no one is immune from it.

I also see it listed on Fox Sports site but Uverse showing Darts. Darts. Are you F-ing serious?
So I just got off the line with Patty at Uverse, who could not have sounded more happy to finally take my call and complaint. She said Fox Sports is asking Uverse more extra cash for Big East Hoops and Nascar and they don't feel they should pass it along to their customers. Instead, they think it best to just show their customers great programming they want to see. I asked her, do you really think anyone in their right mind wants to watch the World Darts Championship?
I do see the game on Fox Sports Go so I can at least hook up my laptop to a TV and watch it. Looks like it's time to switch providers.

The Butler DePaul game is on FS2 on Uverse, weird.
-
I don't have these problems with Tim Warner Cable. :D

I believe this effective March 1.

I believe this effective March 1.
It started today. It's just a FS1/AT&T, not FS2.
-
Great
-
will it be available on fox sports go?
-
Of course all but the DePaul game is set for a FS1 telecast here on out.
-
will it be available on fox sports go?
I'm kind'va hearing it might.
-
If someone knows if this will affect the Fox Sports Go app and could post it I'd really appreciate it. Trying to figure out if I have to go to a bar or can do the old tablet to HDMI to TV trick.

Yesterday I was watching X-Nova when my daughter requested we watch Frozen. I turned it on for her and pulled up Fox Sports Go on my computer. The listing for the NASCAR race on FS1 was on there, but I couldn't access it. So it looks like it was blacked out on there too. Someone on twitter was able to access the race on FS1 by just staying logged in before it started and then got blacked out when they tried to log back in later.
-
According to my iPhone app, it's on Fox Sports Go, at least it's showing up for now. If they black it out, Hopefully my Xfinity sign on would work.

Not the news I was hoping for, but thanks. Appreciate it.

I'm watching sportscenter right now and it says the game is on espn3 so that might be an option? After looking on espn 3 it's not listed not sure what I saw

It is not among the upcoming games on the espn3 website

And yet, the sh*tty Big 10 Network is part of the basic package with AT&T out here in the Bay Area. Love paying for that steaming pile.
Man, I'm ready to cut the cord.

The cable death spiral begins.
BTW, I's a bit ashamed to say I cut the cord with this season in January. :/

They have leverage...they are 51% owned by Fox who forces the providers to carry their network in the basic services as a result, or not get access to powerhouse networks like Fox News, Fox broadcast channels (i.e. NFL football), etc. Plus, they are the largest group of alumni in the United States with tremendous spending power. Is what it is.

You lasted til January?

Just got off the phone with ATT. The rep said I was the first person she has spoke to all week who was upset about this issue. She also said there is no resolution in the works and uverse is taking a stand against fox. She doesn't see anything changing unless fox caves.
Looks like I'm dropping uverse for next year. Sad

On the plus side, we can start the World Dart Championship live thread later tonight.

Even though I will know the outcome the game is being replayed in wee hours tonight on a few of the regional FSN channels. I too will be dropping Uverse after only one year as this is just an issue I can't take.

Or we can enjoy the Big 10 Network. ::) Can't escape it no matter where you live.

I was enjoying UVerse til this. Can't believe I'm gonna have to miss the BE Tourney. Unacceptable and I guess this means, they're losing me as a customer. I have tweeted to them @ATTCares (which they clearly don't) and @UVerse- there's a few other angry tweets out there to them about this I've noticed.

I love Uverse other than this Big East issue. I'll give them until a month or two before next season starts to reach an agreement with Fox but if not then unfortunately I'll have to switch.
Does anyone have any go to Milwaukee area bars that play the Marquette game with sound? I went to Goolsby's earlier this year and Champs on Sunday, but neither bar has the sound linked up to the speakers which makes it real hard to watch for me.

I'm right there with you on that one. Fortunately, I've got an Xfinity account so I can hook up my laptop to a bigscreen. But that's happening all next year.

Why is everyone pissed at uverse. Fox are the ones being very greedy by forcing uverse to pay even more money for big east hoops. It's big east hoops not the nfl playoffs how much do you expect people to pay for it, give att a break. This is sad though, millions of people use att and now we're just going to see even lower ratings with less exposure. There's a reason every single other major conference is with ESPN. sad
