Here on the North Oregon coast I'm watching the Big10 broadcast of the Dux and my beloved Vandals just fine (Spectrum cable). Idaho looked pretty damned good for an FBS program playing the #3 team in the country so far at halftime.
So hey John, one of the most heralded claims about the new WSU/OSU broadcasting package has been that unlike the PAC 12 Network the CW is available to 100% of homes nationwide. Sitting here at home in Phoenix, I tuned into my CW channel on YouTube TV at 12:00 pm, only to find to my dismay, that the WSU game, as shown in the guide, was instantly blacked out at noon precisely—the same has occurred for the OSU game with no explanation other than a blank screen. What gives?!
