OTish: Bally Sports+ is coming
Tigers, Pistons and Red Wings all streaming for $20 per month or $189 for a full year. Service launches Thursday.
It seems like this was the last big holdout for "cord cutters" to be able to get local Detroit/Michigan sports. Anyone planning to sign up?
I probably will in October.
You had me at "no lions"
Hell no! What a rip off. TV and all this streaming is really getting ridiculous. Obviously this is my opinion but for people who live in rural areas with no cable internet are screwed when it comes to this stuff. We get Dish or DirecTV and that's it. We can't stream anything because phone line cable is to dam slow to even watch a video without constantly buffering.
Awesome! Had no idea he was still in the league. Great for him!
That's Bally's for you, always surprising people!
Nope, fuck Bally sports.
Ha, they announced this for the KC market too. So to recap, Bally/Sinclair group overpaid for the regional sports rights, tried to make up for it by increasing fees resulting in the removal of the programming on streaming services, they created an app that from what I hear is terrible and randomly cuts out or goes to a different game, and now a year or so later, they are offering me the chance to watch a terrible Royals team almost halfway through the season for $20 a month. Uh, pass. These assholes forced me to figure out how to watch games online and turns out, its pretty freaking easy. At least in KC, this has been met with a hilarious response. I see this crashing and burning very soon. No way they will recoup their costs for this app. I would maybe consider $10 a month, or $99 a year, but prob not even that. Plus in KC, we don't even have NHL or NBA, this would just be for baseball mostly.
