Holy smokes, you're sick of $55/mo DB? I pay $110. Are you on a legacy legacy legacy plan?


You pay $110 for one line? ATT does have a unlimited data $50 a month plus whatever taxes and fees are. Which is still plenty high. I would try out Spectrum, but Verizon signal is poor where I live.


$65 is their base unlimited plan, with throttled data and no hotspot. I do not get that plan. But either way, then you add your phone and all of the taxes and surcharges.

I read DB's message as $55/mo total.

Click on more plans in this link. I see it is actually $50.99 a month plus fees. You have to have a phone. This plan doesn't include you being able to upgrade you phone at a discount every few years like the other unlimited plans.

Hopefully it's in HD because WMLW is ****. Their HD looks exactly the same as standard definition.

Like it's not quite that bad now but that's just because technology in the last 15 years has gotten better. Just turn it on now in HD and SD. They look exactly the same.

Holy crap. The Bucks are going OTA outside of Milwaukee, including up here in EC.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) - The Milwaukee Bucks return to free, broadcast television, giving fans a chance to tune into WEAU to watch premier Bucks games.

This innovative “Fan-tastic TV” affiliates deal includes a network of television stations that will air the games across Wisconsin and regions of Iowa and Illinois.

MILWAUKEE BUCKS “FAN-TASTIC TV” SCHEDULE
All times listed in CT. Pre-game show starts 30 minutes before game.

Friday, Feb. 23 at 9 p.m. at Minnesota Timberwolves on WEAU 13.1
Friday, March 1 at 9 p.m. at Chicago Bulls on CW 14.1
Monday March 4 at 7 p.m. vs. Los Angeles Clippers on CW 14.1
Friday March 8 at 9 p.m. at Los Angeles Lakers on WEAU 13.1
Wednesday, March 20 at 6:30 p.m. at Boston Celtics on CW 14.1
Thursday, March 28 at 7 p.m. at New Orleans Pelicans on CW 14.1
Wednesday, April 3 at 6:30 p.m. vs. Memphis Grizzlies on CW 14.1

Wednesday, April 10 at 7 p.m. vs. Orlando Magic on CW 14.1
Friday, April 12 at 7 p.m. vs. Oklahoma City Thunder on WEAU 13.1

The Bucks TV broadcast team of Lisa Byington, Marques Johnson and Steve Novak will be on the call for the 10 games, with Melanie Ricks reporting from the sidelines. Games include a 30-minute pre-game and post-game show when network schedules allow.

“We’re thrilled to reach Bucks fans on broadcast television stations,” said Peter Feigin, President of the Bucks and Fiserv Forum. “Over-the-air is an easy and affordable way for Bucks fans to watch our games and we’re excited to work with a fan-first team of broadcasters, led by Weigel along with Gray, Morgan Murphy and TEGNA to make them widely available.”

The games were initially part of a distribution agreement between the NBA and Bally Sports Wisconsin’s parent company, Diamond Sports Group.

“We are thrilled to offer the Bucks fans in Green Bay, Eau Claire, La Crosse, Wausau, and nearby areas the chance to watch these ten games for free. This is a fantastic opportunity for Gray stations WBAY/WBAY 365 in Green Bay, WYOW/WSAW in Wausau and WEAU/WECX in Eau Claire-La Crosse to provide complete access to these Bucks games, regardless of how you watch TV,” said Matt Moran, Senior Managing Vice-President for Gray Television.

Listened to Marques’s first episode of his Bucks podcast “The Hear District” and it was very good, definitely the best Bucks pod out there.

Cancelled Bally's since they don't even have half the remaining games. If you include the games where they didn't have service I think they probably only had 50-55 games this year.

Is Bally's not also showing the games on OTA?

Glad we're getting some good Bucks content back. With LOB falling off a cliff and gyro step just kinda there... we needed some new juice.

CBS in Milwaukee (channel 58) owns WMLW (channel 41) so they also broadcast that game. It was a one time thing. Only WMLW will be showing the remaining OTA games.

How often is Marques doing the podcast?

They didn't show the last one and they aren't listed as showing any of the remaining OTA games.

Sparky is back with his postgame show after every game. Starts tomorrow night after the Clippers game.

He started this show back in fall of 2006 I believe. Was a great show, but then at some point 4-5 years ago, his schedule wouldn’t allow him to do it, so it went down the drain with other hosts. He brought it back during the 2021 Finals.
