BYU vs Wazzu is not available on ESPN3

Post by fallball »

Sorry to those who were planning on this. It is only available on ESPN3 in Hawaii. It is also on WatchESPN if you happen to have internet from the providers they list as partners...I guess it is Justin.tv or something back alley...

That's disappointing and really surprising to me. Last year I watched all the games on ESPN3, it seemed like the only college football games they didn't show were the ones that were on my local ABC affiliate.

I'm hoping that's a good seat for the game this evening; 3 hours until kickoff and I still have no place to watch it; thanks for the tip weekend cougar

This was announced a few days ago. Kind of old news now. Isn't it on the main ESPN channel?

I am seriously peeved at ESPN for blocking out the state of Utah for its online broadcast. That is stupid and ESPN is once again on my blacklist.

I think TV powerhouses realized that if people can get ESPN online, they are going to drop a TON of subscriptions. They talked it over with ESPN and ESPN3/WATCH ESPN is going to be a lot different now. It was blacked-out here in PA too.

I'm pretty sure that any game that is on ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU is going to be blacked out on ESPN3. I looked at the Boise St. game, and that too is blacked out. They're basically making ESPN3 for on demand replays, I guess.

Teams who come 7K seats short of a sellout for their season openers don't have a leg to stand on when complaining about blackouts.
