Ducks TV For Next Season( What channel?)

[Static]

Wow - the weirdest thing happened in the past 2 days. First, the bankruptcy judge approved the Diamond Sports/Bally's plan to continue broadcasting NHL Games.

Judge signs off on DSG's deals with NBA, NHL

A federal judge approved Diamond Sports Group's deals with the NBA and NHL on Tuesday, but the development came with strong pushback from MLB.

And now, there are reports that Amazon is negotiating with Diamond/Bally's to provide streaming of NHL games, including Anaheim.

"In the NHL, sources said Amazon is now in talks to broadcast all local games this season for the Anaheim Ducks, Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Detroit Red Wings, Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators, St. Louis Blues and Tampa Bay Lightning."

Exclusive | Amazon nears major deal to broadcast NBA, MLB and NHL games on Prime streaming: sources

Amazon is in late-stage talks for a contract to livestream this coming season all the Bally Sports broadcasts of 12 NBA franchises, as well as five MLB teams and nine NHL teams, sources said.

Amazing - who could have ever predicted that?

And just to be clear, this is not a sure thing and their are lots of permutations (i.e., KCOP keeps local games and Amazon has streaming rights. Or Amazon does not begin streaming until next year. Or that Victory + keeps the local streaming rights for a shorter period). My guess is the ducks contracts with KCOP and Victory+ have an out tied to the bk results.

It just reinforces what I said before - the ducks rights are still tied up in BK and there is no assurance the newly announced contracts with KCOP and/or Victory+ will ever be implemented or last for 2+ years..

Why are you holding onto this by your last fingertip? Did you not watch the Aaron teats interview?

I'm sure all day you know more about bankruptcy law. I do not know more about bankruptcy law than you. Being wrong about this one isn't going to change that.

It's quite possible the NY Post also made the same mistake of citing an old article and did not update their information like your previous article citation was debunked by me.

Here's key evidence you missed from the Aug 27th Stephens article: "While the Ducks continued to negotiate with Diamond after their contract expired, Teats said the Ducks had been looking at different options throughout the summer."​

Ducks Announce Partnerships with Victory+, KCOP Channel 13 to Televise All Regional Games for Free | Anaheim Ducks

Local broadcasts will be available to 100% of the Los Angeles/Orange County area (eight million households)

Contract term and bankruptcy two different subjects. You keep neglecting to admit the Ducks were one of the few free agent NHL teams this past summer, along with Florida and Dallas. The Teats interview wants more visibility than what Bally's was offering. Air broadcast reaches more homes b/c you can get HD over-the-air channels in and around the LA area. The Victory+ coverage is much more expansive than the Bally's coverage.

It's a done deal to move on from Bally's as it was already published on NHL.com and the Teats interview. A 2-year contract with Victory+ for streaming and a 1-year deal with KCOP for over the air. It's pretty straight-forward.

They also have a web site ready to go live.

Victory+

I already have the app, is it an old version and they are updating it?

Doubt it very much. They’ve never streamed sports before. This is a new venture.

Downloaded the app and signed up. It doesn't do much so far.

The Stars agreed to a seven-year deal when they partnered up with VICTORY+. Gruninger preferred not to reveal the specific length of their deal with the Ducks, but mentioned that it was a long-term deal and ‘somewhere in and around there.’

Website seems nice and simple. We'll see how beefy their servers are on game days, but the recorded content launches very fast and stream quality is good.

UI controls are limited though. Just back 10sec and forward 10sec. not even in content volume bar for web ui. I guess they're using same UI on web as mobile app.

Working great on my Roku TV.
