ESPN3 ending simulcast of broadcast sports

• gorocks99

  

  If you've grown accustomed to having access to live sports you want to watch (college football, perhaps?) via ESPN3, you'll have to get used to not having it any longer.
  
  ESPN3 is removing all sports that are shown on one of the broadcast networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU). To get those sports you'll have to use the WatchESPN app (that only comes with a cable subscription that includes ESPN).

  Yeah, you have to have a cable subscription with ESPN to get WatchESPN I think.

  Correct.

  NBD. I have Time Warner, so I have WatchESPN and BTN2Go, so I'll never miss a Buckeye game! As long as you have cable with a participating subscriber then you can get WatchESPN free.

  I had cable with fucking mediacom (the devil), and they didn't subscribe. Neither does DISH. Fuck you guys.
