Sounds similar to here in Minnesota/the Dakotas. For as popular as hockey is up here they could at least air an NHL game or two on non-cable TV, but nope. We’re at the mercy of a literally bankrupt and dying RSN that carries every non-NFL pro league and has priced itself out of most cable, satellite and streaming carriers. It should almost literally be illegal for the Twins, Wolves, Lynx and Wild to ALL be on the same channel (Bally Sports North) that most people in the market can’t even watch because no providers in their area can afford to carry it.
Yeah that’s pretty ridiculous. In the KC market the Royals (MLB) are only on Fox Sports (in some like KC specific package), Chiefs are on broadcast tv, Sporting (MLS) is only on Apple TV I think now. We have no NHL or NBA team but those are all on various cable channels and/or ESPN plus.
More and more stuff is forced onto cable (like almost all of March Madness was only on cable tv). And of course all the stuff split out onto streaming stuff. It’s such a shitshow and only getting worse.
