TV/ESPN+?

Post by surlyrich »

Can't wait for baseball season. In the past, I've watched tons of Vandy baseball on ESPN3 streaming through Apple TV.

Does anyone have a handle on what the new SEC/ESPN contract means for viewing going forward. When it was announced, I got the impression that the world of ESPN3 SEC baseball might be changing into the ESPN+ pay for service.

Did others get that same impression or have more knowledge? Or is it too early to tell and we will see in February?

Thanks

The last game I tried to watch (women's) I could never get to come up. Ended up listening to radio. Hope this isn't the case for baseball.

It seems as though College Baseball gets more favorable online coverage than Women's College Basketball.

I believe that last season, all the SEC games and non-conference home Baseball games were on ESPN3.com (aka watchESPN.com / ESPN app) or better -- ESPNU, ESPN2 or ESPN. Perhaps that will be the case this season as well.

We will have to check for video options at non-conference road games. An increasing number of Men's and Women's Basketball games are on ESPN+ (for a monthly fee). Maybe that's how one would get a game at MTSU, Western Kentucky, etc.

I’m sure ESPN would love to have a different subscription channel for each game.

Chromecast is great for baseball seasons.....if youy can get the game on your computer or phone you can send it to the big TV with a press on the screen
