I'm not the one super upset that they don't have some huge sprawling website before they have even launched as a network. What do you want them to have posted? Their TV schedule they are still figuring out? Clips that don't exist yet? Articles/blogs from people who literally just started working there? They have every single piece of information you need on the website currently. But sure, I'm the clown.

The point of my post is that the quote I referenced above originally said "Our official website will launch October 1st." and now it says "soon".

Wow the first time the launch of something has been delayed in the history of the world. It's a website in the year 2024. Clown behavior is caring about that, especially when they are presenting you all of the information you currently need/they have available.

It's just straight up amateur hour bullshit. Which is exactly what most logical people expected from a Reinsdorf run broadcast network.

So would you prefer they have some tabs up top that say "VIDEO" and "HOT TAKES" with nothing there? Would that make you feel better about whatever it is you are currently going through about a website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think a working website on day 1 of a sports television station in the 3rd largest market is something that shouldn’t be half assed. And to add to that point, having agreements with cable carriers is a right there with it. i know some have accepted the failures and mediocrity of this man, but I don’t 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are able to click on it and it gives you information. I'm sorry they don't have clips from their non-existent shows like the website example Paulie gave has? Also - getting cable agreements is incredibly hard right now. The whole system is going through massive changes. ESPN was just off air on one for a few weeks for a dispute. Quite frankly, they are already on more distributors than I thought they would be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent three minutes on their new "website", and I've already found 4-5 errors. Don't get too excited. They went from something a high school kid in web design could create in a single class, to something that student created overnight for homework.... (yes, I have web design experience) They can't even proofread or QA before launching. The very first section of their FAQ says: "We recommend you visit this website for guidance on selecting and installing an antenna and scanning for channels." They forget the actual website/link. That high school student's grade just dropped to a B. Their OTA channel list isn't even up to date: Chicago, IL: WJYS, 62.2 and 62.3 Rockford, IL: (Coming soon) South Bend, IN: (Coming soon) Milwaukee, WI: (Coming soon) Grand Rapids, MI: (Coming soon) Des Moines, IA: (Coming soon) Champaign/Springfield, IL: (Coming soon) Paducah, KY: (Coming soon) Cedar Rapids/Davenport, IA: (Coming soon) Peoria, IL: WHOI, (Coming soon) Sioux City, IA: KMEG, (Coming soon) Quincy, IL: WTJR, (Coming soon) Indianapolis, IN: (Coming Soon) Gray Television’s CBS affiliate WSLN (Ch. 23) in Rockford and NBC affiliate WNDU (Ch. 16) in South Bend, Ind. were announced two weeks ago, and no mention on their "website". Now that student's grade is a C. I'll just stop there, as it's more than enough to prove my point. As I said, amateur hour bullshit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's beyond amazing. Then they try the elder abuse thing, yet somehow the man is lucid enough to go to Springfield to ask for a billion plus, and say, hey, this team is worth more elsewhere, I'm just trying to do the state a favor before his son will be forced to sell it to someone who will move them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how saying "yeah getting TV deals right now is extremely difficult" is defending him. Some teams have straight up given up on getting themselves on linear television and are just doing straight DTC. I can state the facts of the industry. It doesn't mean I'm defending him.
