Post subject: | Marquee Network Bullshit Programming |
Just noticed that Marquee is currently showing tennis. Fucking tennis ATP from Miami, live. Nothing to do with the Cubs. Nothing to do with Chicago. So is this what Marquee is? A general-ass sports programming network? ANyway, here's where u can post shit that you see on Marquee that is NOT related to the Cubs at all. A place to tell us what kind of bullshit programming u stumbled upon. "Bullshit" meaning "non-Cubs" |

Welp, Hulu does not carry this channel anymore. I do not know who I am more pissed at- the Cubs or Hulu. This is a team whose fanbase was built on a nationally accessible superstation and has steadily reduced access over the years. Now super fans like me cannot even watch the games in my hometown.... |

And since I will be in WI the majority of the summer, the tv MLb package would work since I am out of market. My only local choices are Comcast and AT&T stream or going back to satellite. I enjoy Hulu. |

I enjoy Hulu. This is what baseball teams who have created their own network have all learned. Most baseball fans don't care enough to switch. The cable providers know it too so they have all the leverage. Too many day games. Too many games. A 50-50 chance the team won't be worth watching anyways. The sad thing for the Cubs is that everyone knew this and they still went all in on the network. They should have put half the games on ABC and kept the other half on a cable network. |

Will be interesting to see how this plays out long term. The team specific networks allow you to milk a few more bucks out of your established fans who have already connected to the team, but by limiting your availability to only select platforms limit your exposure to casual or younger fans, thereby greatly curtailing your future audience? Can see baseball slowly dying already, especially amongst younger people. Used to play sandlot games with the neighborhood goofs all the time back in the day, but now unless its an organized league, the baseball fields in the parks are always pretty much empty. |

I’ll never pay for that Marquee/Sinclair bullshit. Overall, the whole RSN model is not working like in the past. Unless you are sports fan, people are realizing that a modest streaming package or simply an antenna and Netflix is enough. |

Showing college football IL State vs MO State right now. There is no crowd noise. Feels like an amateur high-school broadcast. One broadcaster, no analyst. Incidentally, NBC SPORTSNET is also showin' an outta market college football game. |

I've subscribed to the MLB.TV package for several years When I was working full time it was great to have on at the hotel, or to put on a 9pm west coast game for falling asleep. The last three seasons, I've been able to get the Cubs and White Sox as I am out of market, except for games against Baltimore or Washington. But between a looming work stoppage, teams continuing to have their TV crews remote for many road games and the likelihood of a Sciambi/Dempster/Sutcliffe booth becoming permanent, I'm going to turn off the automatic renewal this winter. I will put $70 of that subscription money (about $140/yr) into a year of ESPN+ so I can follow the Blackhawks, and I get the radio MLB feeds through my SiriusXM subscription. If I really miss it by July 4, MLB usually runs a half-season special. |

I had lots of buffering issues when casting from an iPad to TV but had zero issues with doing that with +. So far, so good… |

im still shocked they didnt put in a production plan for just a shit ton of documentaries about past Cubs teams, or even Wrigley Field. Could play that shit on a loop and itd be more interesting than what they show now in the offseason. Jesus, I have a box set of "Great Games" they can borrow |

Lombardi Line, on now! 9-11am on Saturdays. Pretty cool show. Up to date discussions on betting lines across ALL sports. Up to date too, as of last night's NBA, NHL, horseracing, etc. Michael Lombardi himself on the show. |

I have Youtube TV and havn't watched a game for two years. Have not missed sitting on my couch watching bad baseball. Sad, but true. NFL is my only go to sport anymore. |

I have a field across the street from my house and maybe 3-5 times a year you see kids hitting a ball around. Same kids play basketball every week. Rain or snow, they still outside dribbling and shooting. Hit my house a few times playing football in their backyard. Sadly, baseball is dying and will die out when Generation X dies out. |

Fielding grounders, popups, and hitting ropes is every bit as fun as going one on one on the court. That should have never changed, but it did. |

Wow this is bullshit. Twice in recent weeks Chicago's regional sports networks have shown they cannot be trusted. In both cases editorial standards were compromised in ways that shortchanged viewers and raised suspicions. In the end, they came off as kowtowing to teams whose owners have substantial equity interests in the networks. On Thursday NBC Sports Chicago edited out a key sequence in the evening replay of that day's Chicago White Sox game -- one that included Tony LaRussa's controversial decision ordering an intentional walk to a Los Angeles Dodgers batter. It resulted in the next batter hitting a three-run home run, effectively burying the White Sox and costing them the game. But in place of the most consequential minutes of the game, NBC Sports Chicago simply skipped over it and posted a graphic that read: "Due to the length of this program we now move ahead in the action." The network later attributed the lapse to an "error in judgment" in the process of editing the rebroadcast for "time constraints." Chicago Bulls and White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf owns a 50 percent majority interest in NBC Sports Chicago. On May 22 Marquee Sports Network excised a segment from "The Reporters," a weekly sports roundtable, that included criticism of Chicago Cubs baseball operations president Jed Hoyer. During the taping, a producer ordered the panel to record the segment again -- leaving out the critique of Hoyer in the retake. In response to the ensuring uproar, Marquee Sports Network released a statement acknowledging that "a judgment was made on the fly that in retrospect was overly sensitive." It sought to restore confidence by moving the show to a live, unedited format. |
