The Mtn network is dead

So, I remember a few personalities. Where are they now?

Are these people still with the mtn, or have they moved on?

You left out Todd Christiansen. I'll likely never again hear a football broadcaster drop the word cognescenti. He'll be missed.

The MTN/CBSCS/VS allowed me to see a LOT more football and basketball games than I would have if we were still with ESPN (under the terms of our previous ESPN contract, that is). I'm grateful it existed.

I have never been in more agreement with you than with this statement.

For the life of me, I never understood the hate toward The Mtn.

The quality was shit, but it was really awesome to see constant replays of games in the summer.

It was frustrating there in 2006 and 2007 not being able to see the games, though.

He landed somewhere, but it wasn't on his feet.

Todd Christensen is a super duper nice guy who actually talks exactly the same way he does color commentary. That doesn't mean it's not annoying, but he really does talk that way in his day to day conversations.

You are as bad as wuap, you need to give credit for when you post something that's already been posted on the board.

I missed two seasons of BYU football because of the mtn. When it finally came on directv I was happy with it, but I missed that 2006 year and the year after

Yeah, for many of us outside the Mountain West it was wonderful to be able to have access via the mtn. Now ESPN and BYUtv are taking care of us.

I think KL made a good point about the role mtn played in showing the value of BYU. But let's not forget the contributions of the amazing HD truck.

Is there a "Dance on a Grave" emoticon...


Hair Thompson and his failures to create a good product and not allow for Comcast to ruin what could of been a good network is written all over this...

I'm still kind of pissed at the HD truck for it's shenanigans last fall; keeping BYU out of the Big 12 and stuff like that.

With the demise of MTN does it make BYU's jump look premature?

[Surfah]

The mtn sucked. After moving out of state I didn't get to see jack shit of BYU sports except the few games televised on CBSsports, VS, or ESPN. Like Creek, JustinTV and other online streaming sites were my go to.

BYU's departure hastened the departure of others, so it was a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Having BYU probably would have kept the channel afloat and extended the agony. So no.

I saw virtually every football and basketball game for 3 years straight, the MTN contract was a big reason why. Over the last 3 years of our ESPN contract, I saw a significantly lower percentage of the games on TV.

The current ESPN contract is much, much better than our previous ESPN contract.

[lambdacoug]

Good riddance. The mtn effectively removed my ability to see almost any BYU game. The exceptions were the away games broadcast on some other network and the 1, maybe 2 games that got on versus each year. This is after games being available on ESPN premier packages in the previous years and church satellites. The mtn was horrible for those of us outside the mountain west region, and that isn't even considered the awesome production quality.

She can go back to the woods of the great northwest with the other Sasquatch.
