WTF is AXS tv and why in God's name
would they have a major pre-season hoops tournament played on a channel that no one has ever heard of and many do not get?
Is there some way I can blame either Delaney or Brandon for this?
Edit- for those not in the know, this is the random tv channel that is showing the Battle for Atlantis tournament which Michigan is playing in this week.

Do you want to talk? Can I get you a cup of coffee?
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:17 AM ^
for everything
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:20 AM ^
another bad targeting call, actually. The refs are always at fault.
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:17 AM ^
blame Jay Paterno.

EVERY time a team runs that crazy play at the end of a game, my son has to listen to me blathering on about how if only Ecker had pitched it to Breaston.....
November 23rd, 2015 at 12:05 PM ^
thing is that the end of that sentence says "then we would have beat an unranked Nebraska team in the Alamo Bowl!"

I blame Scott Paterno's hairy neck roll.
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:18 AM ^
but to your point, I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about or what tv station this is....However, if you couldn't tell we are all pretty busy hating things around here.
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:19 AM ^
It's the station the michigan basketball game is on this week

the thread title says nothing about any of this....for all anyone knows, before they click the thread, the OP could just be asking about a random tv network....that's why I said it was originally OT. Now if the OP would change the thread title to something like "Michigan Hoops on AXS tv, WTF is AXS tv?" That would certainly been on topic and make so much more sense. Would it not?

Hey don't be a jerk. He may be posting from the app.
LOL. Sorry, Beeks. I couldn't resist.
November 23rd, 2015 at 1:25 PM ^
put up this thread so thank you to him. I did some research and it turns out that AXS TV is on channel 340 on DTV, so yay for me I get to watch the games!

"And one more thing...
GET OFF MY LAWN!"
There; that ought to about do it.
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:18 AM ^
It's owned by Mark Cuban

Great News! AXS TV is available in your area on Xfinity/Comcast Channel #1422, 382(HD) .
Here's the link to look up your cable provider: LINK

I get it in Northville (Comcast) and my place in Harbor Springs (channel 802 on Charter).
November 23rd, 2015 at 12:29 PM ^
I have the Comcast sports package and it doesn't even include the SEC Network or CBS Sports Network. They told me I had to upgrade to digital preferred to get it.
November 23rd, 2015 at 2:02 PM ^
I used the link to discover as suspected I am not getting the game..Im on Comcast in Atlanta..anotehr reason to dislike Comcast...among MANY
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:31 AM ^
and I have RCN cable, which does not get this stupid channel.

It's HD channel 382 on Comcast, but you need to upgrade to digital preferred TV (which is $9.99 more per month). Total BS, the same thing happened a few years ago when one of our games was on Universal HD.

Hey! Keep your porn outta here, sicko.

I'm more intrigued by this than you know.

Oh hell yes! Google 5 on 5 MMA too. There's all kinds of team MMA. It is weird and, like the other poster said, hard to turn away.
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:24 AM ^
My guess is the reason the game is played on a channel that no one has ever heard of is because they want people to know about the channel.
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:26 AM ^
My simple Google searched retrieved this:
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:35 AM ^
There is this Google thing again. Can you explain more how it works?
Also where can I watch AXS in Denver?
November 23rd, 2015 at 12:36 PM ^
I learned today because until then, I did not know how to Google. I went to Google.com and searched "how to Google things" and it showed me. Amazing technology, really.
November 23rd, 2015 at 3:07 PM ^
I googled how to google things and it asked me if I was an AOL user.

I had nearly forgotten that they used to be HDNet. Watched a fair amount of hockey on that station in the early-mid 2000s actually.
They've had the tournament for four years now though, the Battle For Atlantis. That I did not know. Interesting.
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:27 AM ^
They show a lot of music stuff. This appears to be an attempt to diversify their lineup.
I recently discovered the "ONE World Sports" channel. They show everything but the major US sports. They've got Russian hockey, Chinese basketball, ping pong, soccer, badminton, and cricket. The Chinese basketball was hilarious. They get 1 or 2 non-chinese players per team. Those guys are US players who go for 30+ points and dominate the action. I half seriously told my son I'm moving to China to become a pro basketball player. The chinese guys were blowing layups left and right and making turnovers on nearly every possession.

I want to see curling. Not Olympics curling, though. Regular-season curling. Maybe semi-pro.
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:28 AM ^
Why are we complaining? It's not ESPN.
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:33 AM ^
I like ESPN. They have the best coverage of college sports.
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:38 AM ^
but we could do without some of their on air personalities....
