UK vs USCjr on 9/7 will be the 3:30 pm game televised on ABC. Does anyone know if ESPN or ESPN3 will also be broadcasting that game live? Normally, I subscribe to Sling during CFB but it doesn't carry local stations except in a few areas. I just moved and I'm having a hard time getting over the air channels with my antenna so I either have to buy another antenna for outdoors, subscribe to another streaming service or go somewhere to watch that game (and others on ABC).
Question about Sling

You need to dump Sling and get YoutubeTV. It's the best one out there IMO. They carry local stations and it's the most user friendly one of the bunch. I think so anyway.
I would definitely consider that. YT tends to be $30+/mo more and I truly don't watch much TV except sports, so all the 'extras' YT would provide are likely wasted on me. I think I can get a better antenna for my TV and will be able to pick up about 25 HD channels over the air, including the networks. If not, I'll have to look at YT or Hulu+ or something. I'm hoping that the ABC games will be carried on something thru ESPN so Sling will have it, though.
If you want a good antenna at a reasonable price that will pick up stations up to 60 miles depending on the terrain go to Newark Electronics and look at the Stellar Labs antennas. I bought one last year for under $60.00 that will pull in stations around 60 miles away. I live in Western KY.
Wow. Thanks for the recommendation. Newark Electronics has the antenna I was looking at on Amazon for almost $100 less. Almost identical specs, too. Not sure how they do it, but I'm ordering one today. Never heard of this company before. Thanks!
Glad I could help. IMO that's what this board is for, helping our brother BBN neighbors.
I THINK if you subscribe to something that has ESPN that you can probably watch that game on the WatchESPN app.
Personally, I'm likely going to go with Venu Sports this year when they launch instead of my usual YouTubeTV. It will save me almost $30 per month and it has sports content from ABC so that should work for this game as well (even though I can get ABC through an antenna anyway).

That's what I was thinking/hoping, too. I will have an antenna that, hopefully, picks up the over-air stations but, just in case, it would be nice if I could watch it thru Sling, also.

Might be on ESPN 3. My fire stick has a nifty sports app, has abc and all that, ESPN Fox, blah blah blah. It's all I've really used for like 2 years now.
