Bobcat's Ridiculous Broadcast Situation

[pegsue123]

I lived in Rock Hill until 6 months ago. I had comporium and were able to see the games. I switched to Directv because Comporium sucks. Now I have no problem at all. I just recently moved to St Louis so I get the league Pass so I don't miss a Bobcats game. I do miss not being able to go to the games though. Hope to be back in Rock Hill soon.

The biggest irony in the history of the franchise has to be the fact that most Time Warner Cable users (myself included) can't watch the Bobcats play in Time Warner Cable Arena.

Is anything being done about this? At all? The franchise has to know how bad their coverage is, yet every offseason no progress is made. Are we waiting for a contract to run out? I feel I should already know this but somebody fill me in.

I moved to Philly from St. Louis. Nice place but in the middle of NOWHERE.

I wouldn't know your answer mate, but there's absolutely nothing selfish about wanting to watch the Bobcats on TV or to get advice on what channel broadcasters have Bobcats. Hell, I would sell my sister to watch em on TV instead of on streams.

how much? and is she old enough to drive me around to my appointments?

Kinda OT from the OP, but does anyone know when the deal with our AM affiliate expires? I know if there's a UNC game on, that we get no Bobcats games on the radio. Considering 610 the Fan is the flagship radio station locally, why can't we get our NBA franchise over a collegiate one? IMO, it's kinda bush league in a major city to not have the pro franchise as the dominant sporting coverage.

Well, thats the Carolinas for you. Don't think that will ever change.

Wonder the same thing on drives home from the game when I want to listen to postgame on 610 and instead it's a Carolina game (love my Heels, but I have other stations I can listen to on the way home). Doesn't MNF also take precedence during football season, or has that changed? Can't remember since last year the seasons didn't coincide.

Still, yes, it's terribly sad that a large city like Charlotte can't get decent media coverage from any local media outlet, whether paper, radio or teevee.

The games are on 1150 AM here in Rock Hill. Don't know if y'all would be able to pick that station up in Charlotte, but it's worth a try.

I think when 610 does a Carolina game, you can flip over to 1660 for Bobcats coverage, those are sister stations from when WFNZ used to be "The Franchise". Usually they'll tell you throughout the day on their shows their broadcast plan if Carolina and the Bobcats are both playing on the same night. The following link gives you the affiliated radio stations with the Bobcats.
