So if I can't have the SEC network without having ESPN, then how can I have ESPN 2 without ESPN?




You cant

Well, I did. Like I said, ESPN is under the "entertainment" package and I bought the "sports package" -which only included ESPN 2 and the other sports channels but NOT ESPN.

I have no idea, but I really think you're overthinking this. I haven't watched SportsCenter or any ESPN talking head shows in a few decades other than a few exceptions, and don't plan to. I watched Jemele Hill (once) and Stephen A. Smith/Skip Bayless a few times... honestly I don't know or care what their politics are - they were both very annoying. If you don't like the politics (or more to the point, the annoyance), don't watch them!

I DO like SVP, but only catch his highlights on youtube occasionally.

Lol yes I did. In my area, specifically, I had access to 207 (ESPN news) and 209 ( ESPN 2..I'm pretty sure..maybe classic) but 206 (ESPN) said I had to order.

Whatever, the case, I also supposedly had ESPN Goalline, buzzer beater, and other college sports channels.

I'm not sure why you think that's strange. I watch (almost exclusively) live sports. Almost entirely A&M games. If I want a rehash of what just happened I go to a couple of A&M sites. If I want highlights of some other SEC team's game I go to secsports.com and on occasion I watch other SEC teams live on watchespn.com. Sportscenter not involved or needed.

Swell. I haven't seen his show and will not. I don't get the fascination with ultra-annoying broadcasters. But maybe that's just me.

Watching sportcenter after a big win is like my go-to for one. 2. College Gameday is usually intertwined with SC. 3. I usually watch in the mornings, sometimes all the way through more than one time. 4.There are the top ten plays of the week...

I don't see how any avid college/ professional American sports fans can go without SC.

As I said, I'm mostly an A&M fan. I do watch other SEC live events on watchespn, but I have not much use for SC highlights/news. And no use AT ALL for the talk shows, which I assume is what most Trumpsters are griping about.

Well that's a provider issue.

DTV can give you whatever the frick you want and whatever the frick they want to give you.

I can get Nickelodeon but I can't get Nick at Nite?! The heck do ya mean?!

The provider can give you whatever they want... that's why they're called providers.

Now if you change the channel (the remote is a providers worst enemy), there's not much they can do.

Start changing the channel and quit bitching

"Appearing on 77 WABC’s Bernie and Sid Show, Cohn said one reason for the cutbacks was the political nature of the network’s programming. She stated, “That is definitely a percentage of it. I don’t know how big a percentage, but if anyone wants to ignore that fact, they’re blind.”
