Bell Media Exploring Sale of Tsn

[MD thaivuN]

if they get the broadcasting rights, i hope there's no regional blocks under Amazon Prime. Depending on how they implemented the region locks, it could be a hassle depending what IP address your ISP provided you. When i tried to subbed to TSN on Amazon Prime, i couldn't watch Habs games there because the system thought I was in Toronto because my IP Address has a Toronto geolocation. I even tried to use a VPN to switch IP regions.

Prime is the future of hockey. And personally, I think they know the product and understand the best way to promote it

I have a 91-year-old grandpa who watches Jets games religiously on TV. He doesn't have any internet or a cell phone. He doesn't even know what the internet is, let alone what Amazon Prime is. If it's not on TV, he'll lose one of the few things that brings him joy at his age. I'd imagine there are a lot more folks like him than people think.

Bell's streams are shit so sell away. As long as we get to keep Tessa somehow. And Kenzie.

Then I pay for it and happily cancel cable.

Pretty much this, only reason I'm even keeping my Bell TV around is for Habs games.

All fun and games until Amazon acquires everything and then forces you to pay to watch...

We're already forced to pay to watch. Need at least 2-3 subs to watch all games. Might as well be just one. A high quality one to boot.

The only thing it is good for is HBO. Lots of amazing stuff in the archives

But it's very expensive for the content. You get both HBO and Super Écran though. I sub to it whenever there's an ongoing series, but then remove it until new seasons come out. I re-subbed when House of the Dragon season 2 started and will probably unsub once Dune Prophecy (also watched Penguin in the interim) is over in a few weeks and sub again when The Last of Us part 2 comes out in spring.

a non Canadian TSN or SN may stop the fig wetting and focus on teams not just nostrils and his band of merry figs

I hope Amazon buys them and owns all the NHL broadcasting rights.

Give everything to Jeff Bezos. NHL games should be on the superior platform.

I am on the road this week and decided to watch the habs game online, I watch on RDS online and then Amazon and the Amazon feed was 10 times clearer then the RDS feed, it really wasn't comparable. If you want to compete with the big boys you need to have the same service and unfortunately they don't. SO all these old dinosaur cable companies, will fgo away with the likes of Kodak, Blockbuster, Taxi's (if it wasn't for the gov't meddling in Quebec) etc....
