Okay got the lowdown. Your Brighthouse package that had sports package options is grandfathered in.  As soon as you switch to a new Spectrum package (which provided me many additional channels and premiums at a cheaper rate) it does not include NESN as they no longer have a contract with them. I NEVER watched NESN when I had it and now along comes UMass. Who knew?

Well...I added the sports package the day of the Illinois game... so... maybe I will be out of luck.

I will be at the game but wait until you see the local commercials on NESN for Umass football. I suspect the university is getting about $10k a game for the broadcast rights...

Here’s hoping they have a Polk County watch party again. I missed the Illinois one because we were at Disney. I watched the end of the game while waiting in line at Splash Mountain, hah.

I think you’re good until you move to a current Spectrum package - Select, Silver or Gold.

That's what I'm gonna try to do.

Well, looks like Beef o Bradys in Pensacola once again.

I look forward to the day when you can legally order ANY game, ANY sport online.

If there is a watch party in the Palm Harbor, Dunedin, Clearwater area let me know.

I've got the grandfathered package that includes NESN but when I went to the 10/6 schedule, didn't see game on 1162. Hopefully that will change ...

Also, as far as the Brighthouse to Spectrum thing, was told by a tech when he came out to definitely not change anything I've got. I have a couple of wifi access points that he says I won't be able to have if I go full new Spectrum since they don't support them. This was a while back so maybe that's changed and they will now .... love me my access points
