watch it on? I always choose CABLE over my local Sports Channel because it Looks better on CABLE. Everytime the 76ers play on ESPN or TNT, I choose Cable because it made the Local Channel Coverage look like sh*T-lol

Usually, the game doesn't appear on both at the same time. It is blacked out in one place. Otherwise, I prefer Local coverage.

Having a big dish has it's advantages, If my local teams were blacked out, All I had to do was scan the skies until I found the opposing teams broadcast of the game. This was a great way to watch when there were no other alternatives. The Charlotte Hornets games were easy to find that way but I no longer use the big dish so I haven't tried finding the Bobcats games in the same manner.

You are talking about the old days-lol It used to be if the Knicks was laying at MSG and it was televised on ESPN on TNT people in NYC could not see the game on cable. Today that's not the case, i think it changed 2 or 3 years ago. How do I know? Because when the 76ers are televised on ESPN and it's in Philly, I can watch on ESPN and ComcastSportnet in Philly

It doesn't make a difference to me either way. As long as I can see the game, I'm happy.

When Chick Hearn was alive I used to watch the lakers on KCAL 9 all the time. He was the best ever.

The clipper anoucers on WB are so lame. So I just watch them on ESPN, NBA TV, or TNT.

I've been watching the local blazer games since I was five years old, so I guess I've just gotten use to the lower quality. Besides that, I like hearing from local announcers who actually care about the team, and have some kind of dedication to them, which you don't get much of in the Nationally televised games. I'd rather listen to local guys like Steve Jones, Bill Schonnely, etc. then the National broadcasters, any day of the week.
