FS1 carriage talks sticky a month out - SportsBusiness Daily | SportsBusiness Journal | SportsBusiness Daily Global

I'm sure things will get worked out before the last weekend in August but if not some people are going to miss some big football games, including Iowa playing in Ames. You would think stuff like this would get worked out far in advance before hyping the network as the ESPN killer.

I'm hoping that because the talks are still "amicable" that that is a positive sign that the deal will go thru in time.

If not, it'll have to be The Dolph and Eddie.

i would love it if it were just dolph and eddy - anything that would make the clowns look extremely bad.

Wouldn't bother me to listen to Dolph and Eddy. Especially if it's blacked out in Ames!

"The fact that so many deals are open a month before a network launch is not unusual in the cable industry. Typically, carriage deals like FS1’s get finalized in the days leading up to or just after a channel’s launch."

Were you saying this last year when it took an 11th hour deal for a lot of people to watch the BTN for the iowa/Iowa State game?

It's week 3. It'll be on. Don't worry about it.

Question. If it is blacked out around Iowa but there is still a tv feed would the B1G Ten Network be able to show a replay?

They will figure out a way to get it on television. So I agree with you in that regard Bryce.

However, it doesn't change the fact the Cyclone TV package is freakin horrible. I don't know what it is exactly about watching a game on Fox Sports, but it feels like as a whole the quality of it is 2nd rate. Like buying someones used running shoes.

hey, you can always go for their premium cyclones.tv package, and huddle around your laptop and watch it..........

Hopefully Mediacom Connections will have it. I showed that channel to a caveman, and he thought the resolution was amazing!

With the creation of FS1, probably FS2, and more games on the actual Fox network, we shoudn't be forced to watch any more games on FSN affiliates, which was the problem. There will be some FX games, but at least FX comes in HD.

Zero chance that a replay ends up on BTN.

And fx games have Gus Johnson. Agree on the fox sports regionals.
