******* TV Carriage Fight ****** Monday Night's Game may not be broadcast in all areas of the country


Recommended Posts

There is an ongoing carriage fight between DirectTV and Disney regarding broadcast coverage of ESPN. Several San Francisco Newspapers are reporting that if the dispute isn't resolved by Thursday Night DirectTV won't meet the 72 Hour Rule. The Local Markets serving New York and San Francisco should not be affected as they have coverage from Local Networks but if you are out of Market you will forced to stream it or listen to radio coverage.

Who uses DirecTV anymore? Sign up for a trial period of Fubo, YTTV or any other streaming service that carries ESPN and you'll be fine.

they do this fairly regularly. this will be resolved and the game will be broadcast.

Not necessarily.

Last year Direct TV was in a dispute with Nexstar television which owned the CBS affiliates in Indy and elsewhere.  The dispute did not get resolved until September 17th and Colts fans with Direct TV were unable to watch the week 1 game unless they had an antenna that could pull the over the air broadcast.

 

Might be different because this is on a national scale, but these disputes don't always get resolved because football season is starting.

Normally I would agree with you but this seems different. Disney has become nothing but a blood thirsty band of greedy d*cks.

Just set up an ISDN line and stream it from one of those "grey area" streams!

If they put a small camera in the QB's helmet and broadcast the stream on the VR headset, I would pay for that!

You can do it if you have one of these and the peacock app.
