So let me get this straight . . .

[sonofdaxjones]

in order to watch (lowly) K-State B-ball games not picked up by a major network all one needs is a TV, and be using a cable/sat provider that gives access to FSKC (of which pretty much all of them don't they?  I mean, you may have to order the "Sports Pak" or whatever your provider calls it, that's what I do on DirectTV).   

But to watch TSC Superstud Wiggins and Team Super Stud for games not picked up on a national basis you have to have either Time Warner (in the Midwest only right?), or buy ESPN Full Court (You can buy DTV's sports pak for 3 or 4 months for half the price of Full Court) or hope your Internet provider can get you on ESPN3 (subject to blackout) or be in a handful of local TV markets??

I do not have access to FSKC, and I think you severely overestimate the reach of that channel.

[Spracne]

Should also add, there are only 4 regular season games not picked up by a major network.

Only poors don't get the full slate of "FSXX" channels.  DirecTV carries it in the sports package nationwide.

Only poors have satellite dishes.  Thankfully, my HOA wouldn't allow it even if that was all I could afford.

Yeah, you and your shitty HOA have backed the wrong horse bruh.  Cable is a dinosaur.

It's available to all DirectTV subscribers on their Sports Pak, also some K-State games are on FSMW/FSKC.   Looks like FSKC is available in KC on Time Warner, Google Fiber, Comcast and Surewest, as well as on AT&T Uverse, Dish Network and Direct TV on a national basis.

I always find it humourous when people act like satellite is some kind of whizzbang futuristic technology .  I think reality shows that expanded fiber networks are where we are headed.

From a pure TV play, the Sats are still WAY ahead of the CTV providers.   

My CTV provider is perfectly fine for Inet, but they absolutely blow on the TV side in comparison to DTV.

That's because they are cheaper and of inferior quality.

How creative...  I've never heard anybody refer to the management of their trailer park as an "HOA".

You got it... my yuppie trailer park won't allow satellite

Sure, that's why I don't use them, and we are still years away from mass national availability of FTTP.

But that's not really the point of this thread.   So, it appears that in order to get most non ESPN K-State games all one needs to have servce is have a TV service provider that provices access to FSKC and/or FSMW.   Looks like on a national basis that's doable via services with approx. 66 million customers.

Don't douche it up.

ESPN3 is so amazing

[TownieCat]

I couldn't find last night's Squawks game on Cox cable in Manhattan. The guide said it was supposed to be on Cox 22, but it was actually just the usual weather info. Sounds like a great TV contract you have there if people 80 miles away are unable to watch the games...

[AbeFroman]

You can't even illegally stream TSC super stud Wiggins games, let alone legally watch them. I mean, seriously 

[pissclams]

time warner has way more subscribers than the old jayhawk network, you guys

[sonofdaxjones]

Should also add, there are only 4 regular season games not picked up by a major network.

So you're counting Big 12 Sports Network and somebody call AXS TV National Networks??

Interesting.

I really don't care about the local folks.  They can suck an egg for getting to suck on the teet all these years.  I get the Big 12 Network games on a local affiliate here in Austin.  AXS TV, well, that's the first game of the Bahamas tournament.  That channel used to be HDnet, and is owned by a group including Ryan Seacrest, Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and *drumroll* Anschutz Entertainment Group.  Yes, that Anschutz.  I'm a bit ticked about that one, even though I probably get the channel.  Oh well, make that paper, booboo.

Uh you can't get these FSKC games outside of Kansas on satellite. As far as I can tell we can't get the games on ESPN3 anymore either. Friday's game is not listed on the schedule and last week's game wasn't on.

Rules changed bro.   Unless somebody forgot to flip the switch.  The KSU-Pitt St. game was DVR'd in HD @ the Dax house.

[Dugout DickStone]

I wonder if Wiggins would have signed with KU if he knew their garbage tv contracts prevented his fans in manhattan from seeing his games?
