TV for Southern?

[Benny B]

Happy that it made you laugh because your response was laughable (you are defending the group that got blindsided by TWC and now fans have no BW TV show this season). Just couldn't understand why you or another guy would be so Defensive about something any good PR person could figure out unless you had a vested interest.

To make you feel even better, in the past years when I was either traveling on business or Wintering down South, I often used your media maps so we could figure out if we could get game (after checking gomarquette) or needed to find a bar with satellite (which your maps helped with telling them how to find the right channel). I never downloaded it. Bet there were a lot of other fans who used the information without downloading also. Thanks for all of us fans. As I said, the MU BB website has always been MKE-centric, (used to list games as on TWC) and not necessarily helpful to those who don't live in MKE. I'm glad that I have been a long time time season ticket holder and don't usually have to deal with all this BS to see my Warriors on TV.

Yeah... The discussion about "angry cable customers who are too stubborn to switch cable providers because they're afraid that the mean satellite people are going to steal their medication" is in the Superbar.  Just look for the thread where Chicos name-drops an ESPN exec every other post.

I have DirecTV and the Southern game is showing on the guide at 7pm Friday night on FSN Wisconsin (Ch 669).  I have it set to record so I can watch it when I get home from the game.

I never seen a T'wolves game on FS Wisconsin in Milwaukee. 

You shouldn't, not their territory.

I think that he must work in the Athl. Dept. You would think that the professionals in the Athl Dept could simply write: "limited availability-check your local listings." FSN is truly not available in real time for this game in a great number of markets whether paying for a premium subscription or not, because I got off my ass and looked a lot before writing.  As a lon time season ticket holder, I don't think they have communicated availability very well.

I don't work in the Athletic Department.  I just think that it really isn't that big of a deal to look something up instead of having it spoon fed to you.

[Litehouse]

It seems like a lot of the confusion here is coming from the fact the schedule just says "FSN" for Fox Sports Networks, which generally refers to all the regional networks, with Fox Sports Wisconsin being the local regional network.  Fox Sports North, the regional network in Minnesota, is also called FSN, but that's not what they mean.

The game is on Fox Sports Wisconsin in HD.  That's a hell of a lot better than being on the Time Warner Sports channel, which is where this game would have been televised last year.  If the schedule would have just said Fox Sports Wisconsin, I don't think there would have been as much confusion.

I live in St Louis and have Direct TV. Channel/station for game today?

You can run a search.

Isn't ESPN delivered directly to the consumer now without a cable or satellite provider?   

[mugrad2006]

Okay, I did do the lookup in case others are interested and here's where I see the game live on at least on Dish

It's carried tonight on Fox Sports WI and Fox Sports West, which if like me you have Comcast in Chicago you don't get as an option. 

Has anyone had any luck with the MU bars in Chicago at least carrying Fox Sports WI through Dish or DirecTV?  I called the Schoolyard and Four Shadows and didn't get much confidence that they knew whether or not they'll actually have the channels to carry the game.

Well, aren't you just pure as the driven snow?

[JakeBarnes]

I unfortunately will be unable to watch it live via one of the streaming services.  So, a bit of a different question: will I be able to watch a replay of it somewhere online or is one of you going to have to give me a vivid play by play description in the post-game thread?

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

Ok...I'm confused. Why isn't Fox Sports Go streaming this game?

Will's Northwoods Inn said they would have the game on.

Because the app isn't ready to integrate the RSNs.  It only integrates FS1 and FS2 for now, but down the road will integrate the RSNs.  Very complex because it all needs to be tied to paid authentication.  Each provider's tier is different where those RSNs sit (if they even carry them).  They have some work to do.  This will be the first app of its kind to be able to go down to the provider tier level with this many channels and package combinations.  Fortunately they are doing this without gov't web development help so the chance for success is high.

Thanks. Maybe I'm a bit dense but sometimes it's just hard to ensure this stuff when you talk to bar staff. Been burned before.

I agree.  I would definitely call ahead, especially if tv's are limited and there is a desire to put something else on the tube instead....like that awful NBA crap.   

[mr.MUskie]

Any Justin.tv type streams?

The Fox Sports Go App is working great.  For the BC v. Providence game, anyway.  Too bad.
