Hawks, Bulls, & Sox new channel is Chicago Sports Network (CHSN)

Directv stream app fails to perform constantly on my newest model fire stick 4k. Good luck rewinding, fast forwarding, or even pausing.

Stream itself is good quality.

FWIW this was remedied by uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Not sure why that would matter but it did.

Don’t mind DIRECTV much. Now I’m paying about $128 a month where I was paying $72 or something though. So that sucks. I do get nhl network and a bunch of blacked out regional channels though. I can cut out $17 of the difference and drop nhl network and the regional channels. I’m not sure if I will. I really like having nhl network. Might just keep it for the season and turn it off when it’s over. Off season isn’t very long though. I also get cubs games, which I’m not a fan of. That might matter to some.

It's hard to overstate how bad it is going to look for all parties if there is not a deal in place before the puck drops tomorrow. I better wake up to hear they figured something out with Xfinity at 4 am.
 
Gameday and most of the fans cannot watch the team tonight.

I have season tickets. Havnt been able to get a hold of my rep for a couple weeks. They dont have game swaps available yet. They have controversy after controversy and they haven't made the playoffs in 10 years.

I wont go buy an antenna. Thats a joke.

speed up the rebuild after a year and no tv deal with relevant providers in 2024, solid job to new regime

How did they speed up the rebuild? They signed a bunch of stopgaps to not overload the NHL roster with overmatched rookies. Bertuzzi and Teravainen were the only ones brought in by Davidson that were given more than 2 years and nobody besides Jones and Vlasic has an active contract for 5+ seasons.

Real talk, what did the Reinsdorf's and the Wirtzes expect the likes of Comcast and AT&T to offer them versus what they previously had with NBCSC? The carriers have all of the cards here, the Hawks/Bulls/Sox killed their channel without a landing spot agreed upon, so they know the morons have a ticking clock, and are trying to negotiate a deal at a time when the ceiling for all three teams is mediocrity for at least a couple more years. Not exactly must watch TV for normies.

Oh, and it seems like almost everyone blames the teams and not the carriers, so it's not like there's a groundswell of public anger directed at anyone not working in the UC.

If you have internet, there's actually a pretty cheap way to watch the majority of Hawks games.

ESPN+, Disney+, Hulu bundle is $15 a month. NordVPN is $3 a month and some change. For $18 a month, you can watch most Blackhawks games.

You just need a device you can install NordVPN on, or use SmartDNS. I have NordVPN on my firesticks, and I manually configured a DNS entry on my LG TV with the NordVPN SmartDNS IP.

entire language started to shift from the rebuild has no timeline to we want to speed it along in under a year, they offered an unprotected 25 1st that likely has good top 2 pick equity for the 4th pick, thats not a 5 year plan move

one year for the speed it up language to start when they have zero blue chip forwards in addition to bedard, was that coming from top down to have a better product for the new network?

Sounds like vague GM-speak. When they start trading away picks for expensive roster players, I'll start to worry about the "speed up" of the rebuild.

They did offer their own unprotected 25 1st plus other assets for the 4th pick, thats a really aggressive move for a pick that could have a high probability of being top 2...are Frondell and Hagens worse than Demidov?

They didn't speed the rebuild up, or even attempt to, just because they signed actual NHL players to play on the team. There are like 6 or 7 guys they had last year who aren't even in the league this year I believe. They couldn't leave Bedard on an island. That's not speeding the rebuild up, that's ensuring your marquee #1OA pick doesn't wanna bail as soon as he's a UFA because you took 6 years to get him anyone worth a damn to play with.
