Cycling on USA TVs, desktops, laptops, and handheld devices

Well seeing a total of 6 mins of a race in 1.5 weeks is very poor trail runs! When is Ooloops?

Yep. Let's see if MAX's engineers can catch up their streaming and app.

The thread title no longer says "not the Sagan thread"! Does that mean this is the Sagan thread?

Most threads don't say "Not the Sagan thread"... so... are most threads Sagan threads?

Only the threads that once said it but then removed it.

Did anyone have success with MAX today? I certainly didn't.

Plus TIZ hates me! I have them whitelisted with my ad blocker but 75% of the time it says I have to turn off my ad blocker. The 25% of the time I manage to get in the video wasn't available due to copyright. I haven't seen a bike race this year!!!

I didn't try. I have a remainder of flo from last year. They had 3 simultaneous races going. Which is impressive!

nope, they havent had anything since wednesday. it looks like they're going to show the women's UAE tour next week which is when they said their cycling coverage would start, so that's promising.

Isn't it too early for Max to be showing cycling? They start with UAE

 

[zlev11]

I looked it up and couldn't find it. Is there a link where I can find the cycling schedule?

found one https://press.wbd.com/us/media-release/max-welcome-live-cycling-us-feb-8

 

[Potomac]

OK, Max B/R is web site lists upcoming cycling

 

[zlev11]

yeah, looks good. hopefully it will be on-demand too.

There is a chance that subscribing to Flo and pointing your browsing location to Canada via VPN just might turn out to be the best deal. I would bet they will resolve the RCS and any other gaps in the schedule as there is no other provider to be found in Canada for anything outside of Flo (that I can find)

 

[zlev11]

yeah that would be nice if there was a way to get it on my TV. it doesn't let me cast to my Roku.

I've been casting from my laptop to my Roku with a VPN with no problems

 

[zlev11]

damn really? i'll have to try a different browser then, id love to watch Bessges and Valencia

 

[Sciatic]

By the time everyone figures out how and where to watch cycling this season, the streaming landscape is likely to be transformed again next season (for MAX at least):

I suppose we’ll eventually lose free broadcast NFL games as well.

lol what a circus. it really sucks cycling has to be roped into all of this other crap. we had our perfect little niche app that worked great already.

 

[scribers]

It’s all about the money. Is this heading toward $199.99 a month (plus standard commercials) for casual sports fans?

This has never been the flo vision. It’s always been a one annual fee access to comprehensively bundled content. No ala carte. No packages. No monthly. No cancel anytime. And all about georestrictions

at least flo has cycling in it's own little section where i'm not bombarded with all the other crap. and again, the georestrictions are not their fault.

They live and die by georestrictions. I was on flo over 15 years ago when the rest of the world could view a niche sport event for free and North Americans had to dish out $150 for the same privilege

Three US media giants have announced a new sports streaming platform to be launched in autumn.
Walt Disney's ESPN, Fox Corp and Warner Bros. Discovery own a wide range of portfolios of sports rights including those for the FIFA World Cup, Formula 1 and the National Football League.
They hope to capture younger audiences and save costs.
The service would have "a new brand with an independent management team" which would be available via a new app.
Its pricing will be announced at a later date, according to their statement.
