Pac12 Networks Innovation Update

according to Wilner (and the other 6 reporters who attended L Scott Un's press conference yesterday), there is NOTHING that can be done about the fact that 90% of football games will take place at night (and don't blame Scott for that because he doesn't work at the tv networks setting the schedule. He merely got the contract done to get our games on TV...I guess for that we should be thankful, right Mr. Herbstreit?).

Anyhow, all is not lost because new "streaming" options are in the pipeline!




Any guesses as to where the Pac12 football games will be available in the Fall?

My yuan is on Weibo, WeChat, Baidu, or TenCent. If Scott is really aggressive in his innovation rollout, we actually might be seeing Pac12 games on some regional Canadian platforms too! Exciting to know that we may be able to drive a mere 2 hours north (don't forget your passport!!) and watch a game...that said, good luck getting a Canadian sports bar to put not hockey on a tv.

Anyway, Larry got this guys.

    There are some hotties on Canadian sports TV.




    and not one of them could name a Pac12 player.

    DJ and I had a conversation many years ago about whether his book could be promoted in Vancouver and I explained to him that once upon a time (story time with Grandpa Race) Husky games were on KOMO4BUTTFUCKER every Saturday and the Don James Coach's Show was on Komo (or whatever it was called...on Sundays I think where Coach would literally go through every play in slow motion explaining decisions) and we Canadians were all over the Huskies...as I recall the Seahawks weren't really that good aside from a handful of seasons, the M's sucked (water is wet), the Sonics had peaked and were on their way back to meh and the pride of British Columbia was the Canucks - the hockey equivalent of the Mariners), so there was one exciting piece of the sports landscape for all Cascadians - the Dwags!

    Then the regional sports networks were born, Huskies moved to a network that isn't available in Canada (mid 90s I think) and since then not a single person in BC has been able to follow them.

    ABC doesn't count as a network any longer?

    The shit goes way the fuck up into interior BC and the far reaches of Alberta via translator systems.

    reading comprehension can be an asset.

    first, KOMO4 is ABC.

    second, when's the last time you saw a Husky game on ABC?

    Scott should be getting the Net on all of the leading streaming services as that is the future. But at this point, He should also pull down his pants a little and get the net on Directv. He has no leverage whatsoever due to the joke ratings but that is why He needed to get them on board at the outset. Before anyone knew what a dumpster fire the Network really is.

    One thing that seemed not so funny to me is that the WCC conference had their early rounds and Championship on the ESPN's, the fucking Catholic school conference. So far through 2 rounds, the Conference of Champions has had one "national" broadcast on FS1.

    One.
