Why does the Darch-Arce fight gotta be delayed on the West Coast

I'm in Cali. I have Charter and get Sho-E. When did you cancel your subscription?

 

This man makes a great point!! Every body WEST COAST should look into this. I know what he's sayin', most ShoTime subscriptions come with all time zones. I can watch east to west.


West coaster's should check into this.:yep

 

and thats the bottom line :thumbsup

 

When they say 'tape-delayed on the West Coast' they mean on the main Showtime channel. If the fight is scheduled for 9pm EST it will be aired at 9pm PST as well.
But it's carried live on Sho-E.
I have never missed a live boxing match (be it Showtime or HBO) because I live on the West Coast.

Afterall, Darchinyan vs. Arce is taking place in L.A. - shutting out the live feed for the West Coast makes as much sense as tape-delaying a nationally televised Dodger game where the rest of the nation gets to see it 3 hours before Cali residents.

 

That's a channel in your Showtime package.
You don't just have one Showtime channel, do you?
Sho-E is an early broadcast channel. It's timed for the East Coast.
But it's available to any Showtime subscriber.

 

If I gots to chose a coast, I gots ta chose the EAST....

 

The West Coast is the best coast.

 

Well, then go kick it with your auntie tonight, lil' homie.

Yeah, it costs a little more, but not much.
If you don't want to miss any live fights it's worth it.

 

No, kid, you misunderstand.
If you order the entire Showtime package it costs you a little extra - but the fight itself doesn't cost extra.

Yeah, the sportsbooks will have it on - but I can almost guarantee that it will be on your auntie's tv.
And she won't have to pay anything for it. It's not like PPV.

I do not doubt she has Sho-E on her cable. Call her up and inquire.

 

Well, until they invent a voice-operated tv... it sounds like auntie will continue to struggle.

Good luck, home skillet.
