Wow, this is a bad sign in regards to the strikes ending anytime soon.

Can't imagine they announce a change like this if they felt there was any chance of a deal happening anytime soon.

This does not affect our game tonight since the Steelers/Browns are on at 8 on ABC, correct?

Don’t think so. We have ESPN and they have ABC is my understanding

Tonight’s game will be on WXAN TV64 in local market, just in case someone wants to know.

I can't imagine ESPN surviving much longer in its current form. Disney and Spectrum just got done with their slap fight and ESPN price seemed to be a sticking point.

The game tonight is ESPN. However, these are the local affiliates in the Panther tv network, and the over-the-air broadcast should be on these channels. Disregard the day and time columns.

Without writers how will the league script a way to screw the Panthers on gameday?

I wouldn’t look at it like that so much as, even when the strike ends they won’t have any real content for 6th months.

Maybe those scripts are already written

Thanks, was worried I might not be able to catch the game on antenna. Side note, wish all our games weren’t on Fox. Fox signal on my antenna is absolute poo no matter what I do. Get everything else crystal clear.

It's called AI. Progressive, if you will....

Evergreen reminder:

ESPN games will ALWAYS be simulcast on an over-the-air broadcast station in the participating team's local markets.

Typically, it will be an ABC affiliate... but there are times when the ABC affiliate isn't available. In those situations, an alternative local broadcast station will be identified.

As others have pointed out in the thread, tonight's game is Charlotte local on TV64

If TV64 is not available on your paid television package of choice, it'll still be available via antenna for free.

A handful of games will be CBS this season
