    Why do we have to have these big sporting events on shitty cable networks?

    Putting them on the 4 networks seemed to work just fine. Now we have games on USA, tnn, court tv, and every other rinky dink shit hole.

    People have to watch their reality TV shows. There are only about 2 shows that I watch on the "major" networks anyway.

    Nothing new there, NHL Playoffs have always been spread across the NBC owned stations with USA being one of them.

    Not many Americans watch the NHL playoffs other than a few people in each city where their teams are in

    Having the Final 4 on cable is fukkin stupid. It' just fine for the rest of the tourney, but Final 4 should be network. Luckily they do a good job streaming it.

    With all the streaming options, is it really? I have direct tv, but came close to just getting a roku & using the digital antenna. Can actually pick up like 15 channels with it...

    Hockey playoffs have not been on the USA network in 30 years. With NBCSN being the biggest hockey station in the U.S. recently, makes zero sense why it's on a non sports oriented channel. Even seeing the games on MSNBC is odd. Nice that there will be more games on, just odd channel selection as is TRUtv for the tourney.

    Al Jazeera network should be in the mix next year along with PBS. Can you imagine that commentary?

    But USA is an NBC owned station, I guess it was its turn to be in the rotation this year. I think it replaced MSNBC this year, looks like games will be on NBC, NBCSN, USA and CNBC.

    At first I was like "What's the problem?". TruTV is no different than CBS when you have cable.

    Then I realized I'm the guy that has cable.
