I've said this many times -- I understand that the TWC package must be the best financial offer we have, but the effect of it is to make us invisible to what is probably half of the Milwaukee market. Nobody with either satellite system, ATT U-verse or any other cable package can see these games. To us, it's like the games are on somebody else's closed circuit.
That being the case, our AD should do everything possible to make sure the TWC games at least show up on the ESPN Full Court schedule so that those of us who can't get the games otherwise (and those not in the Milwaukee area to begin with) can at least choose to pay for these telecasts. I was severely disappointed by how few of those games made it to Full Court last year.
People who use Directv, Dish or AT&T are never going to switch to TWC (especially if, like me, it's where they started). It just won't happen. It would be like going from a T-bone steak to a sloppy joe.

I would think it's little more than half of the people who have cable than dish or At&t, but that's not worth splitting hairs over.
What happen to the deal they had with WMLW? What other channels could the Panthers go?
TWC32 is the only reason why I still have cable. I think they do a nice job with the Panther games on that network. I wonder why ESPN fullcourt didn't pick up more of the Panther games last season?

"The schedule will include 10 locally-produced games."
So does this mean that away games won't be televised?

I think the away games will be like last year. If they are on TWC we will see the "Home" broadcast.

I have DTV. I'm not switching to anything else.
If our away games are on TWC, I guess I'll just go over to SRT's place or watch it online.

I would bet we see more of the same from the last two years, prolly an even home and away tv game split. It is less costly to do a home game on tv then road game so given the money situation that is prolly one way to cut a few bucks

Or you could head over to Hooligan's or BBC on the east side or Amann's on the west side, which carry Time Warner because it allows them to show Milwaukee games (and Marquette). You may have to request it at Amann's, but they'll let you do it. Good people over there.
