Title: How can the SEC tournament not be on TV here?......
Post by: droner on March 14, 2013, 03:51:54 EDT
Well, it's not. At least for the first round, maybe second also.

How screwed up is this? The ACC network is on the ABC affiliate here. However, they're not showing the ACC tournament on the main affiliate station. They're showing it on their secondary station, which is the SEC Network main station here.

So it's ESPN3 on the computer for me.

When I become King, there are going to be some changes made.

My "local" stations are Knoxville stations and for the past couple of years the first two rounds of the SEC tourney, at least the afternoon games, have been carried on our SEC Network affiliate's secondary station (MyVLT). Which means that the basic cable package we have here at the office didn't have the games on.

Good thing I could use the work-from-home excuse.  :laugh:

I haven't checked to see if that will be the case today, but I assume it will.

It is always like this in South Carolina come SEC tourney time,is always on some low budget channel if you can even find it...The SEC tourney always takes a back seat to over saturation of ACC games being shown on several local and cable channels here and you can't find the SEC tourney any where..Oh but the Big least and other crap conferences are on espn 2? WTF!!

They are on WVLT today, not MyVLT.

It is streaming on ESPN 3 if anyone didn't know.

Apparently since a station here has the rights to show it, ESPN3 is blacked out for the game. Even though the station isn't showing it.

Sometimes I just want to break something.  :banghead:
