Phoenix Suns get a ton of tv time

[OregonDucks]

Anyone else notice this? Seems like the Suns are always on ESPN....maybe the most tv time out of any western conference team.

Now that the Lakers are on the Time Warner Channel, I seldom if ever watch ESPN - lol

No just you OD.

Pretty sure OKC been on TV more. GSW, HOU, & DAL probably also

What in the fuck are you smoking? This is like their 3rd time on national TV this year. Only second game on ESPN this year.

They had 2 nationally televised games last year. Two. If anything they are one of the least covered teams in the West.

They do have a few more coming up though later this season-- think they're making up for how rare they appeared last year.

Seems like once a week suns are on tv. Far more than Portland.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

5 games in the last 2 yrs.... idk what else to say.

It's not like you were forced to watch them on ESPN before Time Warner. Their games were on Fox Sports and Kcal 9.

According to this link (made in the preseason) the Suns will be on national TV a fair amt of times this season. However - they are way behind teams like the Thunder, Lakers, Bulls & Cavs (& yes even Portland). Granted - some of this will change as some of the lesser teams (e.g. Knicks) have games removed from the schedule & some of the surprise teams (e.g. Hawks) are given more national games.

Not sure why anyone would appear to be happy over paying for games that were previously free to watch.

I must be getting the wrong ESPN feed or something. The Suns are a fun team to watch and I wouldn't mind seeing more of their games.

But I hardly ever see them on the ESPN that I get on my tv.

Do you get a different ESPN up there in Oregon OD?

KCAL9 was certainly free if you still used an antennae. Fox Sports was a cable channel that you had to pay for, just like TWC Sportsnet.

Like it was mentioned, we only got free away games on Kcal9.

I get everything free, by my friend working for Time Warner. I just have to pay for the extra receivers, which is only $18 a month.
