No idea what you're talking about.Can we please trade SNY for ESPN and other major cable stations? Oh wait, WBB must simply be inferior to MBB. Sorry I must have forgotten.
SNY covers the Mets. How are they not a major cable station?Can we please trade SNY for ESPN and other major cable stations? Oh wait, WBB must simply be inferior to MBB. Sorry I must have forgotten.
SNY is a regional sports network, so in a sense not major. But thank god they are there for UConn basketball.SNY covers the Mets. How are they not a major cable station?
UConn has sold it's TV rights independent of its conference. That's exactly what the SNY deal is. And before SNY it was CPTV. Conference media rights deals give the conference networks first dibs on games. SNY gets what the other networks choose not to broadcast. That was true when UConn was in the AAC and ESPN had broadcast rights.Too bad UConn can’t sell its wbb tv rights independently of its conference. While UConn has dominated ratings historically, SCar is in a position to dominate total annual eyeballs due to the ESPN/SECN Affiliations.
Will TV exposure affect recruiting in the future? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe yes, but not much. PAC teams don’t draw many eyeballs but they sure dominated recruiting this year.

off course it's not a mainstream sport, whoever said it was? At this point we're lucky to even have games on Espn now that Uconn is affiliated with Fox.I'm surprised viewership was that low. It sort of gives the impression that WCBB is still a "niche" sport, still struggling to make the mainstream. Or maybe my view is just skewed because I've been a WCBB fan since I was a teenager. The sport is so much better now than it used to be.
What does this even mean?off course it's not a mainstream sport, whoever said it was? At this point we're lucky to even have games on Espn now that Uconn is affiliated with Fox.
Great question.What does this even mean?
Maybe I'm a tad biased, since I live in NYC and my basic cable package with Spectrum includes SNY.
To me the difference between the UCONN games on SNY and those on FoxSports or ESPN are markedly different.
Obviously, since SNY is UCONN's "home channel" the pre game, half time and post game shows are much, much more informative, entertaining and enjoyable on SNYmuch, much more informative and entertainingand Non Existent on ESPN and Fox! The commentary during the games is done by people who KNOW what's going on (and actually WATCH the game, instead of commenting on everything else BUT the game) with each of the players. Not to mention the weird love/hate relationship they all seem to develop with Geno.
Love Meagan's play-by-play and Kara's analysis. Because they do so many Husky games, they are more in depth and seem to have an "in" with coaches and the players. Better interviews.
Don't think transferring more games to ESPN or another "national" franchise would be better for UCONN fans.
Would the availability on ESPN make forbetterincreased watching? Maybe would increase the audience.
Why would anyone want that?And on a Facebook fan page we have people pleading to have our WBB games returned back to CPTV! Yikes!
Considering that the game was on at Noon Eastern on a Monday afternoon. Many people were working or in school, so I can understand the lower numbers.I'm surprised viewership was that low. It sort of gives the impression that WCBB is still a "niche" sport, still struggling to make the mainstream. Or maybe my view is just skewed because I've been a WCBB fan since I was a teenager. The sport is so much better now than it used to be.
Many people are suffering from a pledge drive and tote bag deficiency.Why would anyone want that?
That's not a impression that is and has been the reality for WCBB forever.I'm surprised viewership was that low. It sort of gives the impression that WCBB is still a "niche" sport, still struggling to make the mainstream. Or maybe my view is just skewed because I've been a WCBB fan since I was a teenager.

There. Fixed it for ya!
