Yeah but, BTN way outclasses FLO on broadcast quality. Unless of course,this year FLO uses BTN.
First off, you are either kidding or comparing apples and oranges. FLO production is way better than the BTN Plus Student U broadcasts which are highly inconsistent as to what they actually are. The regular BTN broadcasts on TV are obviously better.
Second, it does appear that Flo is just airing the BTN Plus broadcasts, not doing their own production. The MD/Rutgers match was on Flo but it was a BTN Student U thing. It actually wasn't too bad as far as they go.
I would assume Flo would produce the B1G tourney since Track had been doing that in the past.
In the world of Roku, Firesticks, Chromecast, SmartTVs, Apple TVs, it is pretty much TV.
Actually on the gopsusports wrestling schedule it says TV: BTNplus
Sorry, I disagree. True the Student U announcers often don't know much about wrestling, but who cares. BTN Plus streaming has been very reliable, Flo's has NOT.
Yes, that Minnesota match last year that had the scoreboard all over the screen was quite delightful, as was last year's Nebraska match where the scoreboard kept disappearing, the clock never worked and the sounds only worked when the PA announcer screamed at us. I will admit that I would actually mark the Nebraska match(a few years ago) with the announcers that has been talked about recently as a plus, you can't beat that comedy gold.
Flo has had two high profile problems with high traffic. The scuffle with Taylor/Dake and the OSU/PSU match last year which bit me.
I signed back up when they announced they had the B1G this year and I think their stuff is pretty tremendous. I watched Super 32 and Clarion and you just aren't getting that coverage out of BTN2Go. They may have more problems with not handling the traffic well, no one knows that for sure but you can't fault their production.
This was my point. And I saw FLO just announced they would broadcast Army. The one open question is will FLO use BIG's physical capability, which is great, or their own, which we all know is not worth a nickel? I'd assume we'll see FLO's POS broadcast.
