So you thought the Galaxy and their stupid TWC deal made the Galaxy hard to watch? https://www.lafc.com/post/2018/01/3...orm-historic-broadcast-and-jersey-partnership YIKES.
Hey, I just signed up for YouTube TV. I wonder if I will get the LAFC games or if my zip code will lock me out. EDIT: I found the sentence I was looking for: "Locally televised LAFC matches will be geo-fenced and available only in the Los Angeles market on YouTube TV. " Ah, well.
Is it only available with a Youtube TV subscription? I saw on twitter that it was also going to be on regular youtube, just geolocked to the LA area? Could be wrong, of course, it's twitter.
Do I NEED YouTube TV to watch LAFC in 2018? No, you don’t! LAFC will make their games available to all fans in Los Angeles. The Club will soon announce a comprehensive broadcast package featuring a local, over-the-air Spanish-language broadcast partner as well as partnerships with both English and Spanish-language radio stations prior to the start of the season.
$35 a month is huge. A cable subscription, with all local sports channels plus 100mb internet costs me $29.99. And if you ring fence LA are people in the wider So Cal media market going to be able to watch?
It must be nice to be in NYC. You can't get anything around here for $29.99. Local broadcast channels plus 60mb internet starts at $49.99 in Houston. That doesn't get you any sports channels. And that's an introductory rate that goes away eventually.
Yeah chord cutting is very very tempting here in Cali, where basic cable starts at $50. Unfortunately the braniacs at TWC figured this would happen, and spend insane amounts of money on the Dodgers, Lakers, Galaxy and Sparks. Now there is no way to cut the chord and still watch those teams.
You should stop having MLS and soccer in general cause "EXTREME" nervousness in your life. Just enjoy the games... Don't worry, be happy.
$49.99, plus all those little hidden charges, includes 175+ channels, HBO, Showtime, internet, phone, all the main sports channels plus every local sports game. If you assume 7 or 8 LAFC games are shown nationally $35 a month works out at about $10 per game.
Surprised me, too. I guess there is more competition there or something. Most places you get one cable company, the phone company, and maybe satellite depending on your location. Those are your options. I can't put a satellite dish on my townhouse so I have two choices. Comcast and AT&T know it. That's why I'm trying out YouTube TV. We'll see if it saves me any money since both Comcast and AT&T charge more for internet if you don't bundle it with TV or a phone.
By the way, only partially TV related but worth mentioning, we got our first apples to apples comparison of LAFC and LA Galaxy today. We learned that local TV English deal AND shirt sponsorship for LAFC =$4m We know that Galaxy get $5.5m for local TV and $5m for shirt sponsorship from the Pyramid scheme. So scoreboard is LAFC $4m and LA Galaxy $10.5m I'm surprised at the big discrepancy here.
Well we (Galaxy) got that big TWC money, that we really don't earn. They don't see Galaxy fans as valuable for whatever little we pay to have Sportsnet, but instead we are valuable because them having the Galaxy keeps us from cutting the chord. In essence, we are paying $100+/month for Galaxy/Lakers. Also, semi-legal pyramid schemes have to pay more to get on a team's jersey, and we got Herbalife
