ESPN+?

[Hurtlocker]

Sounds to me like cyclones.tv is going away.

Also, that $22M per year has to be per school, correct?

For the ESPN portion of the current contract

Games on ESPN Plus can still be on TV, right? Some Drake games was on Mediacom 22 channel and it was an ESPN+.

cyclonestv is garbo

But its free with my cable subscription whereas ESPN+ isnt.

 

[HGoat1]

Good! I already pay for ESPN+ for MMA events, they've been reliable thus far.

So will the 8 schools providing content receive more money from the ESPN television contract than OU and UT? Seems that if these schools are giving up the rights, you can't just keep distributing it evenly.

JW is going to be on KxNO to discuss this at 11.

Might be a dumb question but if I cut the cord and get rid of cable...can you get an app for a smart tv to get Cyclones.tv on your actual tv?

Sorry I realize a little off topic but didn't want to start a whole thread on it.

Sounds as though it's gonna cost in addition to already subscribing to ESPN through cable or satellite. Too bad there is not a way around that fee, but this appears to be the way of the future.

I had heard they were working on a Roku app for Cyclones.tv. I have no idea if that was ever finished.

What cable subscriptions include ESPN+ (as opposed to just espn3)? Thought ESPN+ was a standalone pay service for everyone.

It has a Roku app and an Apple TV app.

So no smart tv app? Is Roku just that little usb looking thing? How does everyone watch Cyclones.tv without Mediacom?

 

[ianoconnor]

I'm all for Cyclones.tv shifting to Espn+. Would subscribe. There's some solid soccer content on Espn+.

On my iPad. Or use Apple TV and Screen Mirror and watch it on my TV that way.

It sort of depends on your television. Lot's of smart televisions come with Roku or Apple built in so you don't need a separate device.

Roku has an app and it works as good as Cyclones.tv allows it to. I usually stream it using my firetv’s browser directly from the website and it works pretty well also.

Sounds like all tier 3 rights in FB, MBB, VB, WBB and wrestling are going to ESPN+.

I don't see how Cyclones.TV survives though this is WAY, WAY better for distribution.

ESPN+ is a carrier, not a producer. CyTV may not survive as a live event carrier, but the games still need to be produced and distributed.
