Dockingsched - Please treat me like a layman here, I've read your posts but I'm still not clear.

I have Time Warner here in NY, is this Lakers channel something I could add to my plan? Is it west coast only? I've bought the nba ticket just for Lakers games for years, but if I could get something like this - along with the televised games and stuff on the nba channel, I could probably drop it.

pretty sure you can only get it in the lakers market area. for simplicity aske, i would think of it like any other regional sports channel.

I thought the current commentators would transfer to the new TV network?

and for those still wondering,

For fans that have been asking, both new networks, Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes, broadcasting in English and Spanish respectively, will be offered to cable, telco and satellite systems to be carried. Discussions between Time Warner and those carriers have just begun. These networks will not only exist on Time Warner Cable. The networks are new sports networks that can be carried by any cable, satellite or telco system.

probably. thats why i said i hope they bring back joel meyers. bill macdonald is a good commentator, but messes up so many calls almost every game and is no where as knowledgeable as meyers. but i guess with enough seasons under his belt, he'll get there.

Chris McGee, who has done a fantastic job as the play-by-play announcer for Fox Sports West's and Prime Ticket's high school game of the week the last six years, is leaving the network. He's expected to host the Lakers' pregame and postgame show for the new Time Warner Cable Sports Net.

Do you plan on watching TNT baksetball , ESPN for laker games ? Or will just watch the games on the laker station? Is anyone going stop watching the networks all together?

Pretty sure TNT and ABC will continue to have exclusive broadcast coverage. I always watched FSN/KCAL over ESPN when I could, though. I don't see why that would change (as long as TWS has a decent HD signal)

TNT over the new Lakers station for sure, not too certain about ESPN though.

Ding: Concern growing about Lakers games not being on TV

If the provider you use for TV in your household is Time Warner Cable, you're set – because that is the only cable or satellite distributor we know right now will have Lakers games.

If you have DirecTV, Dish Network, AT&T U-Verse, Verizon FiOS, Cox Cable, Charter Communications or anyone else, you could rightly feel antsy that you won't see on Oct. 1 TWC SportsNet launch day the exclusive footage already filmed of Howard's face as he put on a gold Lakers jersey for the first time in a quiet locker-room moment after all the hullaballoo of his inaugural news conference.

Or the Oct. 7 first game uniting Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Howard and Nash, as the exhibition opener is only on TWC SportsNet.

Or the Oct. 31 road opener in Portland, just the first of 70 regular-season Lakers games on TWC SportsNet. http://www.ocregister.com/sports/lakers ... games.html

Interesting, I'm going to switch from twc to directv ... and now nope still going to switch.

There will be far more extensive pregame and postgame shows – especially compared to when the road games were on KCAL/9 – plus nightly Lakers news and features. There will be 24-hour programming with no infomercials. Some Galaxy soccer, Sparks women's basketball, CIF high school action and Mountain West football and basketball ... yet mostly a lot of Lakers, such as an entire reality series covering the recent Laker Girls tryouts or the specific moment of Nash being welcomed by Jeanie Buss in her office.

This really makes me hope that the dodgers get their own network

You should be good to go. The League Pass will have all the teams available. IIRC, league pass out of towners will either get Time Warners new feed or the team they are playing. It shouldn't effect you.

Im gonna do some more research and survey it, but Im gonna get it if needed. I still dont know how it affects all of the others. TNT, Espn, nba pass, local stations etc...

Post #80 » by **dockingsched** » Wed Aug 29, 2012 8:24 pm

always avoided the national broadcast when possible, will keep doing that.

just hoping TWC and Dish come to an agreement, DISH has been drawing a line with a lot of different networks, it costs me like 20 angels games on fox sports west so far this yr. contract expires oct 30, so i'll be ready to pull the trigger if needed.
