[Ben Pope] The CHSN accessibility issue isn’t just affecting fans — even Alec Martinez, one of the Blackhawks veterans who didn’t travel last night, couldn’t watch “because I don’t have an antenna or DirecTV.”

This is PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soo everyone is jacked up for the start of the season and the Organization drops this egg . Well Done
It’s the 21 century for crying out loud! I refuse to fuck around with an antenna.
Bill wirtz laughing in his grave
I hear the NHL(-has)webcast.dot.com
No better way to grow a brand by making sure nobody can watch it. If Richardson stays as coach however, it will be another season not worth watching anyway.
This shit has Jerry’s name written all over it but shame on the hawks ownership
RIP watching the games at bars the ones I go to have Xfinity
I’ll be stuck pirating the away feeds this season it seems
Dollar Bill Wirtz has been resurrected just in time for Halloween
Anybody familiar with AManForThePeople’s Bears discord? Anything like that going on with the Blackhawks? I asked if he’d consider it, but he apparently doesn’t like hockey.
Why do people hate on antenna, it’s so much better
Antenna is so damn easy. Idk why people are complaining
How hard is it to buy an antenna? I’ll tell you. Not hard. 20 bucks and I have every game, even if the Internet shits out. This antenna refusal is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. For a one time purchase, you’re set. And you get a number of other random channels that might be fun. Hell, we may even cancel YouTube TV at this rate. We only really used it for Blackhawks games.
How do I get the antenna to pickup the CHSN channels? I’m in Lockport and I keep getting the same 6 channels when I scan for channels
Just how the Wirtz family likes it. You want to see the game? Fuck you pay me and see it in person.
Welcome back to the 90s, friends.
So no app?
If it helps, Rockford is always a good time and Indy is loud AF.
I can’t wait to see the Fuel in their new barn. I’m not exaggerating when I say a Fuel/Toledo Walleye game is just as loud as a Habs/Bruins game in Montreal. It’s unreal.
I cant get more than 24 channels off the new antenna i bought with a 1100 mile radius. Stops at 60.1, so close. This is some 90s shit for real.
Martinez needs to start sailing the ocean blue brother
Now you know how hockey fans whose teams are on Bally Sports feel if they have Hulu, YouTube TV, Sling and Dish.
This is a Jerry issue more than a Wirtz issue. They are stuck being with the Sox and Bulls. Not having streaming available in 2024 is beyond comprehension.
Fuck the Wirtz
What a disgrace it is in the world of the internet we have issues with people being able to access something they are willing to pay for.
Like you dickheads do know that there are plenty of people willing to pay good money for a subscription just to see all the hawks games this year right?
Wow is my childhood repeating itself?
People are quick to jump the gun.
If they don’t have their app launched by the time the regular season starts then I’d start to panic.
It is my understanding that the app will allow those in the viewing area to watch all content including live games, where as those outside of the viewing area will only be able to view content that is not subject to blackouts.
My guess is they have the app launched in time and also get more cable co’s/streaming services on board soon however as long as the app is available it really doesn’t matter if streaming service A, B, C carries it.
You should all be shocked that Jerry is allowing his teams to be on free TV locally, I know I was when I heard that the network would be free OTA and via app locally.
I guess I’ll order that ota antenna after all
I unashamedly pirated the broadcast.
Hey quick tip for all you people bitching about an antenna. Stick a paper clip in the coax plug and you will get all the channels if you live within city limits. It doesn’t take much.
