camel lips Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Try using PACER to see if there is anything to be found. There are thousands of Entries for Sony in the PACER data base. Gonna need a district to narrow the search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimF-LowBari Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Total blackout like the days I didn't march or follow. Monday log on and find the scores and who was here (including Mini and Alumni(?)). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoValves Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 If ticket sales are dwindling, there's no reason to put up a live feed. That just discourages people from actually attending. I can understand blacking out the broadcast for the first 150 miles, but that's a cost I'm certain DCA can't afford. Heck they could barely afford an OK feed last year. Brilliant plan! People are losing interest in a thing, so let's make sure we stop exposing people to this thing because that will REALLY help generate more interest. Sports may blackout locally, but there are billions investing in owning their own networks because they understand the concept that the more people that have access to watch your product, the more you will grow your fan base. It ain't rocket science. If the can't afford a TV crew, then put 10 people around the venue with iPads and stream it on FB Live or Periscope for free. The idea is to get MORE people to watch, however you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, they don't even know their own marketing strategy right now. Attendance goes down each year at their flagship event, and you want them to either go into the red, or take on the inevitable lawsuit that will put them six feet under?

JimF-LowBari Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Shaking my head over the sports may blackout locally but have their own networks to make $$$..... That's why you can't see locally anymore..... On topic: wish I knew what DCA would have to charge to break even but "no need to know" Edited June 1, 2016 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall how much the live stream pulled in its first year . The dollar amount or the number of users was announced in here but it was no small number . One would really have to sit down knowing all the facts in terms of cost of production vs paid feeds vs paid attendance to see where they are at financially . How devistating is the loss of paid internet feeds going to be ??? is DCA expecting to make up the loss income from paid internet fees in paid attendance ?? Do they feel that is a realistic goal . ??
