Well I guess it's WKBC 97.3 for me this Fall.

Unless I am missing something this is only a concern for the Pen St game and should not be a problem otherwise. I am making a strong assumption that the Gardner-Webb game which is still TBA for TV coverage is not going to be the networks named in the article.

There are workarounds for the Penn State game.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

I'm pretty sure you could sign up for Sling TV for a month. I know you could do it last year but seems like there was a question about BTN being available through Sling TV moving forward.

There are other streaming options that can get it. I think HULU is one but not sure which package you'd have to get. A quick Google shows multiple streaming options.

The Big 10 Network is on youtube TV, which you can sign up for a free 1 month trial for.

Tech question:

Didn't want to start a whole new thread for this, but I watch my netflix, hulu, prime through my PS3 but I'm looking for a device that'll give me access to ESPN+. Looking at either a Roku or Chrome Cast. Not asking about how you get your streaming TV but anybody got a preference over those two devices specifically for streaming ESPN+?

Still pisses me off more I'd have to pay for ESPN streaming to watch any of our other games.

I find Roku more user friendly as a device that doesn't rely on your tablet, cellphone, etc but rather seemlessly incorporates with your television.

Since ESPN+ will be of interest to many on this board, does anyone know which streaming devices will or will not support ESPN+?

I. Have a ROKU, Fire Stick and Visio Smart TV. All three can serve up most streaming Apps that I typically use. Is ESPN+ limited to any devices?

Will I be able to get ESPN+ on my desk top computer like I did ESPN3?

If they continue to make this more complicated, people will start going to the games again.

I do think ESPN+ will be accessible through your desktop and through the updated ESPN app, as I understand it.
