Marquee Sports Network will be available nationally on DirecTV

Already being heavily discussed on the MLB Extra Innings 2022 thread.

lol the broadcasters are having too much fun with 664 they have mentioned it at least 5 times !

Here is the Official PR from Marquee

I noticed the channel was working for me on Saturday and was wondering when it became available outside of the Chicago area. Someone on twitter said it’s been available for about a week now.

Xfinity and other carriers must have loved that!

Yeah Marquee has actually been available for me since April 21 when the Cubs started a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. That evening when the game started the channel came on for the game and after it was over it never turned off like it used to. It stayed on. If you are an MLB Extra Innings subscriber & watch Cubs games out of market you would know that the game was available and then as soon as the last out was made, the channel would shut off. Well after that game back on April 21, the channel never went back off, it stayed on and has been on ever since. Now the official press release came yesterday that channel 664 will be available nationwide on DIRECTV.

Mabye they were testing it or something than made official PR weeks later . Simiar to NESN 4K . Took them like 2 weeks (after being live) to make official PR .

I don't see anything in the press release about it being an exclusive deal, so presumably Comcast and other providers could also get the rights to carry Marquee out-of-market. (The precedent is that YES Network, with live games blacked out, is available on Spectrum and Verizon in some areas outside Yankees territory.)

Well if you are a Cubs fan there is other Cubs related content that would probably interest Cubs fans. But having a bad team does dampen the enthusiasm a bit. And yes they still have plenty of crap content.

Not that I'd watch anything, but its not available on my rec'r. Still says its an add-on. Maybe its only in Sports Pak...

Yeah you have to have Sports Pack.

As another poster said, there's more programming of interest for Cubs fans than what you listed. Yes, we know you don't like them dating to your beef with the superstation days. Every RSN faces the issues out-of-market that you listed here.

As I stated. Getting other people’s RSNs has never been a selling point to me The Sinclair ones have some material for the co-owned Tennis Channel and Stadium network, both of which I already get; and some infomercials. The AT&T and NBC ones do not even have that much content. All getting somebody else’s RSN gives you in terms of valuable content is the occasional HS or small college game and the pro teams’ highlights shows. Its just NBD.

im able to watch Sky v Storm tonight on Marquee !

usually i get a blackout message on Wnba games, even tho i sub to NBA LP...

i asked on twitter guess there is not a D* version on WNBA LP... only streaming stuff

Yea marquee definitely not blacked out

They are playing the Os , and I should be blackout of the cubs feed (since I live in MASN territory) but im about to view Marquee no issues
