All it says is that they will air the Atlantic 10 network live stream. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but that sounds like it's going to be the same stream we've been watching online but now you can watch it on tv.Puck Frovidence wrote:Finally! This is good news, a decent start for a new local TV deal. Out-of-staters should rejoice too because this will probably mean the quality for the internet streams of these games will be MUCH higher than the goddawful video board feed (featuring the notorious hoop cam) they've been getting til now. Hope to see Abu back on TV for these games!
That's the way I read it too. Simply taking the A10 stream and putting it on your TV, in other words but a HDMI cable.josephski wrote:All it says is that they will air the Atlantic 10 network live stream.

Oh god that would be awful, but I think it's unlikely. The existing online stream is not broadcast quality, and the program hasn't exactly shown a lot of confidence in it (no effort at stream specific ads, no stream specific halftime show, no shots of Steve and Don, and most of all that they're not charging for it). We'll see how it shakes out on Sunday but I have some experience in this area and I'd be stunned if what we see isn't at least a more polished in-house product, if not a completely different A10-branded experience.ramster wrote:That's the way I read it too.
