Sports Channels

Channel 7

ESPN used to be the king of sports here, but with all the recent competition they “cleaned house” last year and got rid of a lot of their higher end talent. That combined with so many Americans “cutting the cable” getting rid of their cable access on home televisions ESPN is having some financial difficulties.

As for me I’m more interested in the game than the network it’s on so I may be watching ABC, NBC, Fox, Fox Sports, CBS, NFL Network, Big10 Network, SEC Network or TNT.

Major Networks for NFL and many college football

The ESPN family of channels is the major cable sports network, but Fox Sports is picking up steam as ESPN is starting to struggle. They both carry a big variety such as baseball, college football, tennis, hockey...

TNT is big with showcased NBA games.

NBCSN has EPL and Bundisliga and F1 racing
Bein has LA Liga

No sports channels, since I don't pay to watch them. Whatever is on free TV or Hulu. The Mrs. is more into sports than I am. But I do watch Formula 1 racing, boxing, hockey, sometimes UFC (MMA).

I am still pissed and protesting the braves sell out. Peachtree TV had the games on for free and they sold the contract to another company that Peachtree TV is owned by.

With that said. I can get the MLB package online for less than 2 months of cable.

The tease of basic cable gets me. You get just enough channels to realize you can't watch hardly any sports.

Note: I know where Dominic lives and that Lucky sob can get several over air HD channels for free (assuming that’s what he’s doing) sadly I can only get 2 where I live and one of those is PBS (no thanks!)

There are a variety of channels providing sport coverage. The US Open was mostly covered here by ESPN. NFL games are on CBS, NBC, Fox, espn, and sometimes NFL network. Yankees are on the YES network. Mma is either Fox Sports or Spike.

The Battle of the Network Stars is on ABC - and sometimes ESPN - just in case you were wondering - lol!

I used to watch a lot of ESPN but no more. They went from 100% sports to about half and half politics and sports. Fuck that. I watched sports to get away from politics.

Yes, is can get a lot of good FHD channels with an antenna. That is exactly what I'm doing.

FS1 for Skip Bayless
I listen to ALOT of Sport Talk radio on SiruisXM
Whatever channel the games on is where I watch. Or whatever channel the club has on

I use to like ESPN but it sucks now. I get it for football season and drop it rest of the year.I get NFL sunday ticket it saves me money from going to bars. I can get HD local channels so use a HD antenna for that. Love not having cable, use Sling TV for stuff not on Amazon, Netflix.

I will watch sports on any network except for ESPN who I blame for ruining sports with their focus on stupid highlight reels.

Only on free national networks. I've never had cable, don't want it.

The network I watch is all dependent on which one is broadcasting the game I want to watch, which is usually either UofM football, Detroit Lions football, Detroit Red Wings hockey or Detroit Tigers baseball. In all honesty, if it weren't for the fact the majority of the Red Wings and Tigers games are broadcast on cable, I would cut the cord completely. I did cancel my cable subscription earlier this year in favor of Sling TV, which is cheaper than cable, and has all the popular sports networks. Still, these over-the-top services like Sling are nowhere close to the a la carte programming so many of us wish we could have.
