Post subject:  No TV for the Bulls today
Not even tape delay. 2:30 start on WCKG 105.9 FM only for those wanting to hear it.

I know they can't broadcast while ABC has games but why not a tape delay again today?

Have you guys noticed the Bulls have had alot of Sunday games this year. I think like 7 out of the last 10 Sundays or something. ABC probably requested this because they decide what games they want to do 2 weeks in advance. They wanted to have some Bulls games as an option? But they've always chose better match ups. Bulls have no star apeal despite their decent reccord.

Bulls win 92-90. Gordon hits a deuce with 2.8 left to win it. Cleveland plays Denver later tonight. If they lose we are 2.5 out of the 2nd seed.

Since ABC isn't going to change it's blackout policy for other games non-televised, I just wish that ABC would consider putting their games in that 4:30 slot like NBC used to have - it doesn't effect any of their prime time TV coverage that night, and allows those early afternoon games to be televised locally.

I'm more concerned with the Knicks. It's just as important that they keep losing while the Bulls keep winning.

Why are you worried about the Knicks still ? I don't think it really matters whether they get the 8th seed or are the 10th best team - they are still going to be picking in the 10-15 range, I don't think they will get any magic bounces in the lottery.

I just wish they would do what FOX does for baseball. Let all home towns see the games on ABC regionaly. Hell, let the local broadcasters do it if you don't want to pay anouncers. ABC will get the ratings in alot of markets if it's local. Nobody's watching the national game except the cities of the teams any way.

Today there was like 6 or 7 games in the afternoon.

I don't know if it's true, but I read a post on realGM.com that said the game was on Comcast sports net plus. Not sure though.

Regarding the Knicks, you never know what David Stern is up to with his balls! Lottery balls, that is :lol: :lol:

I mean ABC would have to pay local anouncers obviously. But they'd get a bigger Chicago audience for their sponsors. Probably triple viewership in Chicago over the Pheonix game they showed today. It just makes sense business wise for ABC. I don't get why they don't.

No gimp. They weren't on Comcast plus. They weren't on anywhere today.

Well for the reccord Mr. Gimp that message board was wrong. The Bulls were not on TV today. If you look at all the highlight shows they don't have over head shots you'd see if the game was televised. It was just ground free lance camera shots. It would have been out there if it was on TV. Legally, like I said before, they can't broadcast when ABC has a game.

That explains a lot. I seemed to remember there being a Bulls game on Sunday, yet my search was in vain. Fucking NBA and its Sunday matinées that it blacks out half the time.
