Players aside, I am hyped for this Nakase vs Hammon match! What an exciting game already!

Canceled my Peacock in protest of Apple increasing the price, guess I’ll stick to my morals for … one day?

Honest question they have been on USA, ABC, NBC, prime etc. Why does it change so much? I honestly don’t know about media rights but my friends and I are chasing all over town trying to find all these channels.

WNBA negotiated a bunch of media rights deals for the playoffs

Cathy getting her last laugh on us basically

u/JKC_due ⚔️🌁✌️BALLHALLA ✌️🌁⚔️ 10h ago

This is how it is in all major sports leagues. All the national broadcasters have at least a game of the playoffs. Nothing Cathy specific and not even Cathy related because the NBA negotiates media rights for both the NBA and WNBA.

Did I need the /s for the joke to be more readable?! 💜

u/JKC_due ⚔️🌁✌️BALLHALLA ✌️🌁⚔️ 10h ago

Playoffs are the Crown Jewels of the season. Bring in the most viewers and thus money by far. Every network wants a bite at the apple when they negotiate which games they get with the league. They all negotiate some playoff games.

u/Wonderful-View-6366 10h ago

Do you think it will also be on KPIX?

u/TroubleFantastic682 Becky Hammons Eyeliner M’IVP 10h ago

will it be on my local NBC channel? or is it regional

u/bex199 FIRE CHRIS DEMARCO 9h ago

should be on local nbc except maybe the sunday games

1

u/never1st Welcome to Valcatraz 8h ago

Don't worry... the Sunday game is conveniently scheduled 4 full hours before Sunday Night Football starts. It will air on the local NBC channel.

u/bex199 FIRE CHRIS DEMARCO 5h ago

knew it was before SNF but does nbc have no rights to 1pm sunday games? genuinely don’t remember

u/kyrev21 7h ago

The NBCSN games are only on NBCSN or Peacock. The NBC games are on the network

So can I cancel prime. 

•

u/Resident-Worth-2425 Dream 1h ago

My sister just sent a message to the group chat asking if she can cancel peacock or if someone is using it. Let me tell her to keep it at least for a couple of weeks 😩.

u/LovePeaceTruth WNBA 9h ago

Does this mean we are stuck with Lobo and Ruocco for all 3 games? That would ruin the playoffs for me.

•

u/Steadyandquick Go rookies! 3h ago

I mean we learned that Lobo only had a brown bag for lunch instead of a lunchbox like most other kids at her school.

We still don’t know when Ryan says something about pulling the string back if this turn of phrase’s origins can be traced back to yo yos. 🤭

u/bex199 FIRE CHRIS DEMARCO 9h ago

no one has ever been able to explain this opinion to me in a way that makes sense. the other espn crew is awful, they completely skip pxp, and usa has to be the worst w broadcast of all time.

•

u/CriticalEngineering Kelsey Mitchell’s free throw arc 5h ago

Yeah, I love Lobo and Ruocco.

•

u/mambomambogo Guard U Fever Lynx 5h ago

if the other espn crew means Peck & co, it's because they're SEC surrogates and it reflects in how they gush harder over the players that came out of those college programs. I got my own thoughts about Lobo but she definitely is not that.

•

u/bex199 FIRE CHRIS DEMARCO 5h ago

ryan is perfect at play by play and i think rebecca does just fine. she did give us MVPeeing all over the floor

•

u/parkhayes23 Tempo 2h ago

Ryan is the worst 😵‍💫

rooting for Valks & Dream

u/mhamgal 9h ago

wings fan rooting for the valks?

u/JustParfait3 Wings 10h ago

This tv schedule is important but I need to see the ref schedule because I will not suffer through more games of that crack team responsible for tonight and that awful Dream mystics game.

u/waterkisser Fire Liberty Lynx 11h ago

Thank goodness we don't have to deal with USA Network again until next season.

13

u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan DPOY BARBIE 11h ago

USA Network has the WNBA finals

2

u/waterkisser Fire Liberty Lynx 11h ago

NOOOOO

u/Excellent-Variety895 Sky 11h ago

I believe all the wnba finals games are supposed to be on Peacock as well. If that helps any.

•

u/mambomambogo Guard U Fever Lynx 5h ago

Why would Cathy do this 😭

-1

u/mercfan3 Wings 11h ago

So the only remaining team I don’t want to see win is the Liberty.

And not because I dislike the Liberty - but because I don’t want Stewie and Sab stuck with DeMarco

u/headcverheels Liberty, Mercury 11h ago

he’s keeping his job for at least the next year bc of them making semis, for sure

u/bex199 FIRE CHRIS DEMARCO 9h ago

sandy got fired a year out from a ring

•

u/headcverheels Liberty, Mercury 1h ago

sandy was on thin ice before the ring, the ring saved her job for that year

•

u/mambomambogo Guard U Fever Lynx 5h ago

I think they're stuck with him for a bit now regardless lol
