If you don't have NFLN, the team's local market will carry the game.

Why would anyone get TWC in the first place? My same $54 a month package with Dish would cost over $120 with TWC (counting HD DVR boxes, etc)

The "local market" does not reach summerfield. I guess I could use the money I spend on my season tickets to pay a Direct TV bill. I could get the best package they have and still have money left over. Shoot, if you add in the gas, food, hotels and stadium beer money, I could take a small vacation as well.

shouldn't really effect anything.

If you live in the Charlotte market......you get every game (regardless of having NFLN or not)

If you live outside the Charlotte market you rarely get the games to begin with.

I live in Summerfield NC. I only get the games that are on Fox, NBC and CBS. The "local market" is Charlotte stations.

This is awesome. I hate the short week of prep for the teams, but I love having an extra game. I mean, I'm going to have to start DVRing Grey's Anatomy, but that's ok I guess.

So Time Warner does not have the option to add NFLN? Sucks for you guys.

No, TWC does not offer the option for NFL Network. It sucks pretty badly. I would have DirecTV, but they can't install in my town house and get a good enough signal because of the roof like or something. I was going to get everything I have with TWC, plus NFLN and DVR AND DirecTV cinema for $34.99/month for 1 year. Oh well.

Last year when the commish visited Panthers training camp someone asked him about NFLN and TWC. He basically deflected the question from what I remember. Nothing to see here.

What we are saying is that when the Panthers play on NFLN, the game WILL be shown on one of those stations IF you get them on Sundays. If you don't then you wouldn't get to see them anyway (unless you had Sunday Ticket)

well, I don't know exactly.....

but if you are getting every Panther game on Sunday afternoon......I would assume your area also would get the broadcast for a Panther Thursday night game on either CBS or Fox.

Pretty sure we had a Thurs night game on NFLN since I have been in Columbia, SC......and the local station here aired it.

Nope. No more Monday Night NFL or Thursday. Only Sunday games. Unless I want to buy NFLN and ESPN. Spent thousands on tickets and can't even watch the away games.

It's getting to be a choice. I can rebudget the ticket money and buy the best Direct TV has to offer.

Ok let me try to ask this a different way- Are you able to watch the Panthers on Sundays?

games that air on NFLN on Thurs.....are aired for the local market on standard channels. Always have been unless they are changing something.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
