Beginning of the end? Canes to partner with WRAL for 2 broadcasts in Nov

[Svechhammer]

I've long thought they should go in this path, and its great to see. I do wonder if this is more of a trial run, or just a one off thing right around Thanksgiving.

Either way, this would be huge for streamers.

I had the same immediate thought. Maybe things become stable with the new setup, but this is a perfect trial balloon for what might be inevitable.

I am in an unfortunate position where my wifi isn’t good enough to reliably support pirated streams at any consistent quality so and would hate to be forced into a larger cable streaming service so as much as I hate it having the fanduel network subsciption is actually my favored option

2 games will be on local broadcast TV, on channels that come standard in any cable or streaming plan.

If this is the long-term solution (WRAL or a digital channel) an antenna will work for anyone who is local as well.

I wonder if this trial balloon is a way to show Diamond Sports that the ratings bump would make selling the games to WRAL/WRAZ more profitable for Diamond Sports than keeping them on FanDuel SN.

And the games are available across most of NC and SC over the air as well:

November 25 vs. Dallas	November 29 vs. Florida
Charlotte, NC – WBTV 3.2	Charlotte, NC – WBTV 3.2
Greenville-New Bern, NC – WITN 7.2	Greenville-New Bern, NC – WITN 7.2
Columbia, SC – WPAM 18.1 and WIS 10.4	Columbia, SC – WPAM 18.1 and WIS 10.4
Wilmington, NC – WILM 10.1	Greensboro, NC – WCWG 20.1
Charleston, SC – WZCH 35.3 and WCSC 5.7	Wilmington, NC – WILM 10.1
Greenville and Spartanburg, SC – WHNS 21.2	Charleston, SC – WZCH 35.3 and WCSC 5.7
Myrtle Beach, SC – WMBF 32.3	Greenville and Spartanburg, SC – WHNS 21.2
	Myrtle Beach, SC – WMBF 32.3

Crappy things is with SlingTV I don't get local channels, and my Antenna (or the signal) isn't strong enough to reach me in Winston Salem very well. So yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!!

If I didn’t have to pay extra or pirate to watch the canes I would be so happy

And over the air antenna if you live close enough to their tower.
