DarthEbriate Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 6 minutes ago, The Ghost of Yuri said: I think they do, actually.Β ESPN+ is airing the pre- and postgames of other local sports networks, so it would appear to be a choice of theΒ local sports network. If I had to guess, MSG wants ESPN+ to pay extra for the extra content while the other networks include it in the game coverage. Doing some morning game re-watching, it has to have something to do with an agreement on the network level. MSG doesn't show pre- or post-games (BUF, NYR, NYI, NJD). But Bally (MIN and NSH) both show post-game broadcasts for a bit. MSG would need to agree to it/negotiate it in some capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 46 minutes ago, The Ghost of Yuri said: You get what you pay for.Β Honestly, if I had the choice to pay for ESPN+ for $84 per year or NHL.tv for $160 per year, I'd pay the extra to get the pre- and postgame. The flipside is ESPN+ has so much more content than NHL.tv did, pre/post-games notwithstanding. Right now there's pre-season MLB baseball, NCAA baseball, Indian Premier League cricket, NCAA women's lacrosse, and Sportscenter... all rolling along at 1030AM PT/130PM ET. The intriguing thing will be playoff games. I'm not sure if ESPN+ will show NHL playoffs live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN+ blacks out your local market live (but you can watch the replay). They also don't carry TNT or NHLNetwork games live or on replay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you get on ESPN+ is tied to what you are subscribed to on your cable/streaming/satellite package. I got rid of Xfinity for YouTube TV. They have the full complement of ESPN channels, so I get them all on ESPN+ too. What I don't get anymore is NHLN and NESN for Red Sox and Bruins game. (I do get NBCS Boston that carries the Celtics.)
